Question

Pretend you have a job building tricycles. If you had 100 handle bars, 150 wheels, and 75 seats. How many pedals would you need in order to make $50.00? Assume that every tricycle sells for $4.00.

A) 21
B) 26 CORRECT ANSWER
C) 30
D) 42

Answer 1

I think the answer is A, 21

Answer 2

Every tricycle sells for $4 and he has to make $50 ,

It means number of tricycles needed to make $50 =
`(50)/(4) = 12.5`

Number of tricycles cannot be in decimals , so round it off we get 13

It means 13 tricycles are needed to be sold to make $50

Now

Every tricycle has 2 pedals

So it means Number of pedals needed = 2*13 = 26 pedals
