Question

• Chocolate bars were sold for $2 each.

• Boxes of candy were sold for $1.50 each.
• The soccer team sold 168 items in total.

of the items sold, 3/4 were chocolate bars and the remaining items were boxes
candy.

How much money did the soccer team raise from the boxes of candy that were sold?

Answer 1

From the sale of boxes of candy, the team made $63

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 3/4 of the sold items were chocolate bars. A fast trick to find 3/4ths, or 75%, of a number is to multiply it by 3 and divide by 4.

168 * 3 = 504

504 ÷ 4 = 126

Now, we do 168 - 126 to find the number of candy boxes.

168 - 126 = 42

So, the soccer team sold 42 boxes of candy. Since each box was $1.50, we just multiply

42 * 1.50 = 63

The soccer team made $63 dollars by selling candy boxes.

Note: This is just my way that I did quickly, there are many many other ways to do this. Try to find what's best for you.
