Question

Yesterday, Juana sold 84 hot chocolate during her shift at work. If she worked from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm with an hour break for lunch, what was the average sold per hour?

Answer 1

Juana sold an average of 12 hot chocolates per hour during her 7-hour work shift (excluding her lunch break).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the average hot chocolate sold per hour by Juana during her shift. Juana worked an 8-hour day but took a 1-hour lunch break, leaving 7 hours of work time.

To find the average sold per hour, the total amount sold (84 hot chocolates) should be divided by the number of hours worked (7 hours). The calculation is as follows:

84 hot chocolates ÷ 7 hours = 12 hot chocolates per hour

Therefore, Juana sold an average of 12 hot chocolates per hour during her shift.

Answer 2

She worked from 7 AM to 3 PM meaning she worked a total of 9 hours. However, since she had an hour lunch break, she only worked 8 hours. 84 divided by 8 is equal to 10.5.

So she sold an average of 10.5 hot chocolates an hour.

Hope this helps! :)
