How many Amazebars did she sell?

Sagot :

Answer:

She sold 24 Amazebars.

Step-by-step explanation:

     Cost:

80 x 0.40 = 32

180x 0.30 = 54

40 x 0 = 0

Total = 86

     Income

80 x 2.25 = 180

180 x 2.25 = 405

X x 2.25 = 2.25x

Total = 585 + 2.25x

How many did she sell:

553 = 585 - 86 + 2.25x

553 = 499 + 2.25x

553 - 499 = 2.25x

54 = 2.25x

54/2.25 = x

24 = x
