When completing an online shopping transaction, a typical shopper takes 5 seconds to select each product and another 28 seconds to complete the check-out process. If it takes 48 seconds to complete a transaction, how many products are being purchased? If it takes 80 seconds to complete a transaction, how many products are being purchased?If it takes 80 seconds to complete a transaction, how many products are being purchased? If it takes 80 seconds to complete a transaction, how many products are being purchased? If it takes 80 seconds to complete a transaction, how many products are being purchased? If it takes 48 seconds to complete a transaction, how many products are being purchased?

a) 4 products

b) 10 products

Step-by-step explanation:

When completing an online shopping transaction, a typical shopper takes 5 seconds to select each product and another 28 seconds to complete the check-out process.

For 1 product, the total time =

5 seconds + 28 seconds = 33 second.

We can derive an equation

Total time of transaction = 5x + 28

Where x is the number of products you are selecting

a) If it takes 48 seconds to complete a transaction, how many products are being purchased?

Total time = 5x + 28

48s = 5x + 28

5x = 48 - 28

5x = 20

x = 20/5

x = 4 items

b) If it takes 80 seconds to complete a transaction, how many products are being purchased?

Total time = 5x + 28

80s = 5x + 28

5x = 80 - 28

5x = 52

x = 52/5

x = 10 items

In whole number = 10 items

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
