Question

Today Yumaira sold twice as many bags of popcorn at the ball game as she sold last Saturday. In the 2 days she sold a total of 96 bags. Find The number of bags of popcorn sold today and how many popcorn bags were sold on Saturday.

Answer 1

32 bags we sold last Saturday, and 64 today.

Explanation:

So first, we make a ratio. 2:1, as she sold twice as much. yo could also write it in an equation; 2x+x=96. in both, we see that 3x is equal to 96, and so, x would be equal to 32. to find how many she sold today, multiply that number by 2, to get 64. Hope this helped :)
