Question

A dance team decided to sell fruit snacks to raise money for an upcoming competition. The dancers charged $3.00 for each fruit snack they sold. In 4 days, they sold 24 packs of fruit snacks. How much money could the team earn for seven days at that same rate?

Answer 1

$126

Explanation:

Let x = packs sold in 7 days

Set up a proportion. days/days = packs/packs

4/7 = 24/x

4x = 24(7) = 42 packs sold in 7 days

At $3/pack, the amount earned in 7 days = 3(42) = $126

Answer 2

126 dollars

Explanation:

(i'm gonna be doing my work here, dont mind me LOL)

okay, so they sold 24 packs in 4 days. divide 24 by 4 and you get 6. multiply 6 by 3 and you get 18.

now, multiply 18 by seven and you get 126.

bam!! the dance team could earn 126$ in 7 days ^__^ hope you get an A!
