Question

A market sells 6 cans of food for every 7 boxes of food. The market sold a total of 26 cans and boxes today. How many of

each kind did the market sell?

Answer 1

12 jars and 14 boxes.

Explanation:

12 jars and 14 boxes.

6 jars are sold with 7 boxes all out of 6+7 = 13

as the market sold 26 jars and boxes, we can figure it out by using division from the typical amount.

26/13 = 2

they sold twice their typical amount.

thus, on the off chance that they typically sold 6 jars they sold its twofold, 6×2 = 12

the double of typical boxes would be 7×2 = 14
