Question

Sasha made cups of lenonade to sell at her stand. She sold 9 cups of lemonde in the first hour. For each hour after that, she sold five cups. She was putsode for a total of 4 hours. How many cups of lemonade did she sell?

Answer 1

Answer: She sold 24 cups in total

Step-by-step explanation: The total number of cups sold initially was 9 in the first hour. Then after that she sold 5 every hour. We can derive an expression for this as follows

9 + 5h as the total number of cups sold at the end of h hours. Since she sold some for the first hour and then another three hours (total was four hours), we shall now substitute for h equals 3 into the expression already derived.

Total cups sold x, can be calculated as;

x = 9 + 5h

x = 9 + 5(3)

x = 9 + 15

x = 24

Therefore, she sold 24 cups of lemonade.

Answer 2

24 cups

Explanation:

Sasha worked a total of 4 hours.

In the first hour, Sasha sold a total of 9 cups of lemonade.

There are 3 hours left, and for each of these hours, she sold 5 cups of lemonade.

So, if we sum all the cups of lemonade she sold in each hour, we have:

Total cups sold = 9 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 24

She sold a total of 24 cups of lemonade.
