Question

Each month the student council sells snack bags. The table shows the number of ounces in each bag. Cheese Crackers = 2 ounces, Pretzels = 3 ounces. The first month, the student council sold 50 bags of cheese crackers and 65 bags of pretzels. How many total ounces of each snack did they sell? What is the difference in the total number of ounces?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Each bag of crackers is 2 ounces, while each bag of pretzels is 3 ounces. Since there are 50 bags of crackers and 65 bags of pretzels, we can make an equation:

2(50)=100 oz of crackers

3(65)=195 oz of pretzels

195-100=95(difference in total)

Hope this helps!
