Question

by 8:00 a.m., the snack bar had made $3,256 in sales. By noon, the snack bar's total sales were $8,821. On average how much money did the snack bar take in each hour between 8:00 a.m. and noon?

Answer 1

$1,391.25

Explanation:

Noon would be 12:00 PM which would be 4 hours ahead of 8:00 AM

We subtract $8,821 by $3,256 to get the amount earned between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM

$8,821 - $3,256

= $5,565

The find the average taken in within those 4 hours we will have to divide the money earned by the hours

$5,565/4

= $1,391.25
