Question

Lou and Jacob each sold 200 pieces of jewelry. If 20% of Lou's sales were rings, and Jacob sold 35 rings, who sold more rings? How many more?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know Lou and Jacob each sold 200 pieces of jewelry.

Lou sold 20% of rings from the 200 pieces of jewelry.

20%* 200

= 20/100* 200

40 rings

While Jacob sold 35 rings of all the jewelry.

Therefore, Lou sold more rings. 5 more rings were sold by Lou.
