Answer 1

Kaedyn sold 60 tacos and Mr. Pie sold 84 tacos. Mr. Pie sold 24 more tacos than Kaedyn.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations using the information provided.

Let's say Kaedyn sells x tacos. According to the information, for every 5 tacos Kaedyn sells, Mr. Pie sells 7 tacos. So Mr. Pie would have sold (7/5)x tacos.

It is also given that Mr. Pie sold 12 more tacos than Kaedyn. Setting up an equation, we have (7/5)x - x = 12.

Solving this equation, we find that x = 60. So, Kaedyn sold 60 tacos and Mr. Pie sold (7/5)x = (7/5) * 60 = 84 tacos. Therefore, Mr. Pie sold 24 more tacos than Kaedyn.
