Question

Store A sells four times as many products as store B and one third as many as store C. If store C sells 105,960 products, how many products does store B sell?

Answer 1

Answer:

8830

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 4B = 1/3C

C = 105,960

Now,

$\frac{1}{3}c = 4b \\ \frac{105960}{3} = 4b \\ 35320 = 4b \\ b = \frac{35320}{4} = 8830$

Answer 2

Given,

Store A sells four times as many products as store B

Store A sells one third as many as store C

The number of products store C sells = 105,960

To Find,

The number of products store B sell =?

Solution,

Let the number of products sold by stores A, B, and C be a,b, and c respectively.

The number of products store C sells = c = 105,960

According to the question, store A sells four times as many products as store B which means

a = 4b

Also, store A sells one third as many as store C which means

a = (1 / 3)* c

Putting the value of c in this equation,

a = (1 / 3)* 105960

a = 105,960 / 3

a = 35320

The number of products store A sells = 35320

Putting value of a in a = 4b

a = 4b

35320 = 4b

b = 35320 / 4

b = 8830

Hence, the number of products store C sells is 8830.
