Question

Mr. Nelson sold 14 bags of popcorn and 21 bottles of water in today. At this rate, how many more bottles of water than bags of popcorn will Mr. Nelson sell in 5 days?

Mr. Nelson would sell more bottles than bags of popcorn in 5 days

Answer 1

21×5 = 105.

14×5=70.

105-70 =35

Answer 2

Mr Nelson will sell 115 more bottles of water than popcorn. First, you find the rate of popcorn and water being sold. That will be 147 bags divided by 3 and 216 bottles divided by 3. You get 49 bags and 72 bottles. You subtract those two numbers, 72-49=23. 23 is the number more waters sold than the popcorn. Finally, you multiply 23 by 5 days and you get 115. So it's 115 more waters sold than popcorn.
