Question

sonia bought 85 packs of bookmarks. she repacked them into smaller packs of 25 book marks each. She then sold each smaller pack for $14 and collected a total of $2618. Find the difference in the number of bookmarks in one original pack and one smaller pack

Answer 1

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of smaller book mark packets = 2618/14 = 187 packets.

Total number of book marks = 187*25 =  4675 book marks.

We know number of original book marks packets = 85

Number of book marks in original pack = 4675/85 = 55.

Hence difference in number of book marks in original pack and smaller pack  = 55 - 25 = 30.
