Question

Carmen sold 70 homemade lollipops. The price of each lollipop was $0.35. No sales tax was charged. Of the lollipops sold, 5/7 were grape. How much money did Carmen earn from the sale of the grape lollipops

Answer 1

$17.50

Explanation:

5/7 = 50/70

this means that 50 of the 70 lollipops were grape

0.35*50 = money earned from grape lollipops.

0.35*50 = 17.50

this means that Carmen earned $17.50 from the sale of the grape lollipops.

Hope this helps!
