What letter represents March's sales?
Ms .sue i think s is for march sales
85,000 > 0.5s
42,500 > s
To find out March's sales, we need to set up an equation using the given information.
Let's assume March's sales are represented by the letter 'M'.
According to the information given, this month's sales of $85,000 are greater than one-half (1/2) of March's sales. Mathematically, this can be represented as:
$85,000 > (1/2)M
To solve for March's sales, we need to isolate 'M' on one side of the equation. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to remove the fraction:
2 * $85,000 > (1/2)M * 2
$170,000 > M
Therefore, March's sales are greater than $170,000, but we cannot determine the exact value with the given information.
