Answer 1

A certain Math Club makes 35 bars of laundry soap a week and sells these at $20 each.

total sale = (35 × 20) = $700

so,

company's sale of 1 week = $700

company's sale of 4 week = $2800

now,

pupils found out that 6 bars were destroyed by mice.

each bar sell price $20

so, loss = (6 × $20) = $120

So,

Now company's total sale at the end of a four-week month will be

= $2800 - $120

= $2680. (ans.)

Answer 2

Given data:

35 bars of laundry soap a week and sells these at $20 each.  

Find out:

How much will be the total sale at the end of a four-week month?  

Let us:

total sale = (35 × 20)

                = $700

company's sale of 1 week = $700

company's sale of 4 weeks = $2800

The pupils found out that 6 bars were destroyed by mice.

each bar sell price $20

loss = (6 × $20) = $120

 

= $2800 - $120

= $2680.

company's total sale at the end of a four-week month will be = $2680.
