Answer: 1) The total number of boxes that Avery sold as a mixed number is
4(2)/(5)

2) The total number of candy bars she sold is 88.

Explanation:

Since, According to the question,

1)
20\text{ bars}=1 \text{ box}


\implies 1\text{ bar}=(1)/(20)\text{ box}


\implies 8\text{ bars}=(8)/(20)\text{ box}


\implies 8\text{ bars}=(2)/(5)\text{ box}

If she sold 4 boxes and an additional 8 bars,

Thus, the total number of boxes she sold = 4 boxes + 2/5 boxes

=
4(2)/(5)

2) Now,


1\text{ box}=20\text{ bars}


\implies 4\text{ box}=80\text{ bars}

If she sold 4 boxes and an additional 8 bars,

Thus, the total numbers of bars she sold = 80 bars + 8 bars = 88 bars.
