Question

Drew soda lemonade and apples at the school Fair he's sold a total of $64 if he sold $21 in lemonade how many dollars worth of apples did he sell ​

Answer 1

$43 because 64-21 is 43

Answer 2

$43

Explanation:

We know the total amount of money Drew earned from selling = $64. Since he is only selling two items, lemonade and apples, we can turn the info into an equation: lemonade + apples = $64 (or L + A = 64)

We also know that he sold $21 in lemonade. If we plug that into our new equation, it looks like this:

21 + A = 64

From there we just need to find A (the amount of money he earned from selling apples). We can do this by subtracting 21 from 64:

A = 64 - 21

A = $43
