Mervin has some cartons of milk. he sold 2/5 of milk in the morning. he sold 3/4 of the remainder in the afternoon. 24 more cartons of milk were sold in the afternoon than in the morning. how many cartons of milk did mervin have at first

2/5 were sold in the morning. This is equal to 40% of the total.  That leaves 60% leftover.

3/4 were sold in the afternoon. This is equal to 75% of the 60% leftover or 45% of the total (.6x.75).

The difference between the two sales is 24 cartons or 5% (45%-40%). If 5% is equal to 24 then you can cross multiply to see what is the equivalent number of cartons out of 100%.

5/100 = 24/x

5x = 24(100)

5x = 2400

x = 480

ANSWER: 480 cartons

the answer is b.)

< 1=< 2

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.
