Question

Saul's Corner Market sells large candy bars for $2 each. A bag of pretzels is $3. On Tuesday, the store sold twice

as many candy bars as Monday but the same number of pretzels. On Wednesday, the store sold the same
number of candy bars as Monday but only half the amount of pretzels. On Thursday, the store sold three times
as much as they sold on Tuesday. On Friday, the store sold 12 fewer candy bars and 5 more bags of pretzels
compared to Wednesday.
Let c represent the number of candy bars sold and p represent the number of pretzels sold on Monday. Write
an expression for each day to show the amount of money that the store brought in from candy bars and
pretzels.
1. Monday
2. Tuesday
3. Wednesday
4. Thursday
5. Friday
6. Monday through Friday

Answer 1

Explanation:

Monday: c and p

Tuesday: 2c+p

Wednesday: 2c+p/2

Thursday: 6c+3p/2

Friday: (2c-12)+(p/2+5)

Adding them all up, you get, for Monday-Friday: (13c-12)+(9p/2+5)

I'm not sure how to explain this to you though, you just follow the directions they gave, to multiply and subtract.

Hope this is helpful!
