Answer:

30 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The store sold 16 sleds in five days, so the rate at which they sell is;


r=(16)/(5)\text{ sled/day}

The number of days it will take them to sell 96 sleds is 96 divided by the rate;


\begin{gathered} n=(96)/(r) \\ n=(96)/(((16)/(5))) \\ n=(96)/(16)*5 \\ n=30 \end{gathered}

Therefore, it will take 30 days to sell 96 sleds.
