Question

sal's orange stand made that show a relationship between the total number of oranges and the number of boxes they sell. Each box has the same number of oranges. Sal made an error in one of the boxes.

Answer 1

Determine the number of oranges in every box.

For row number 1:

`(13)/(2)=6.5`

For row number 2:

`(65)/(5)=13`

For row number 3:

`(91)/(7)=13`

For row number 4:

`(130)/(10)=13`

For row number 5:

`(156)/(12)=13`

Since number of oranges in one box in every row except (Row number 1) is 13. In row number 1, number of oranges in one box is 6.5. So Sal's error is in row number 1.

Answer A: Row number 1

PART B:

As number of orange in one box in every row (Except row 1) is 13. So every box in row number 1, must contain 13 oranges. There are 2 boxes in row number 1.

Determine the number of oranges in row number 1.

`\begin{gathered} N=13\cdot2 \\ =26 \end{gathered}`

So correct number of oranges in row number 1 is 26.

Answer B: 26.
