Clara and toby are telemarketers. yesterday, Clara reached 6 people in 12 calls, while Toby reached 7 people in 13 phone calls. If they continue at those rates, who will reach more peoples in 40 phone calls? How many more?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Firstly we determine how many people clara will reach in 40 phone calls.

6 people=12 calls

X people=40 calls.

make X the subject of the formula.

X=(6×40)÷12=20

So clara will reach 20 people in 40 phone calls.

Now lets determine how many people Toby will reach in 40 phone calls.

7 people=13 calls

Y people=40 calls.

Therefore making Y the subject of the formula we have,

Y=(7×40)÷13=21 people.

So toby will reach more people in 40 calls
