On Saturday, the fruit and juice bar was selling 25 glasses of fruit punch an hour. By 3 p.m., they had sold 125 glasses. If their goal was to sell more than 300 glasses of fruit punch, find the number of hours, h, they must stay open to make their goal.
they still had to sell at least 175 glasses, at 25 per hr, meaning they needed at least another 175/25 = 7 hours to make their goal.
To find the number of hours the fruit and juice bar must stay open to meet their goal of selling more than 300 glasses of fruit punch, we need to determine how many more glasses they need to sell.
They have already sold 125 glasses by 3 p.m. To meet the goal, they need to sell more than 300 glasses.
To find the remaining number of glasses they need to sell, subtract the glasses already sold from the goal:
Remaining glasses = Goal - Glasses already sold
Remaining glasses = 300 - 125
Remaining glasses = 175
Now, we know that the fruit and juice bar sells 25 glasses per hour. To find the number of hours they must stay open, we need to divide the remaining glasses by the number of glasses sold per hour:
Number of hours = Remaining glasses / Glasses sold per hour
Number of hours = 175 / 25
Number of hours = 7
Therefore, the fruit and juice bar must stay open for 7 more hours to meet their goal of selling more than 300 glasses of fruit punch.
