Answer 1

1. $12

2. 3 boxes

3. 2 boxes

Explanation:

1. You first need to find the dollar amount each of them sold. To do this, you need to find the lowest common multiple for 4 and 6. The lowest common multiple is 12.

2. Kevin sells boxes of cookies for $4 each so, you need to find the value of X in this equation: 4 . X = 12. The value of X is 3.

3. Laura sells boxes of cookies for $6 each so we need to find the value of X in this equation: 6 . X = 12. X = 2 because that is the only answer that makes since.
