Question

The lane school sold 1,152 granola bars to raise money for digital cameras. They sold 528 berry bars. The rest were raisin bars. The granola bars came in boxes of 24 bars. How many boxes of each kind of granola bar did they sell?

Answer 1

They sold 22 boxes of berry bars and 26 boxes of raisin bars.

Step-by-step explanation

Total number of granola bars sold = 1152

Number of berry bars sold = 528

So, the number of raisin bars sold = (1152 - 528) = 624

The granola bars came in boxes of 24 bars.

Suppose, the number of boxes of berry bars is
`x` and the number of boxes of raisin bars is
`y`

So, the equations will be......

`24x=528\\ \\ x=(528)/(24)=22\\ \\ and\\ \\ 24y= 624\\ \\ y=(624)/(24)=26`

Thus, they sold 22 boxes of berry bars and 26 boxes of raisin bars.
