Candy bars sold for three weeks..
Sold 26 candy bars first week
Second week sold 4 less than 2 times the number of candy bars sold during girst week
Third week sold 6 more than 1.5 times thenumber sold in second week
26 + (52 - 4) + (1.5 * 48) + 6 = ?
152
To find the total number of candy bars sold over the three weeks, we need to calculate the number of bars sold in each week and then add those values together.
Let's break down the information given:
First week: Sold 26 candy bars
Second week: Sold 4 less than 2 times the number sold in the first week
Third week: Sold 6 more than 1.5 times the number sold in the second week
First, let's find the number of candy bars sold in the second week.
We know that the second week's sales were 4 less than 2 times the first week's sales.
So, we can calculate it as follows:
Number of candy bars sold in the second week = (2 * number of candy bars sold in the first week) - 4
Substituting the value of the first week's sales (26), we have:
Number of candy bars sold in the second week = (2 * 26) - 4 = 52 - 4 = 48
Now, let's find the number of candy bars sold in the third week.
We know that the third week's sales were 6 more than 1.5 times the number of candy bars sold in the second week.
So, we can calculate it as follows:
Number of candy bars sold in the third week = (1.5 * number of candy bars sold in the second week) + 6
Substituting the value of the second week's sales (48), we have:
Number of candy bars sold in the third week = (1.5 * 48) + 6 = 72 + 6 = 78
Finally, to find the total number of candy bars sold over the three weeks, we add the sales from each week:
Total number of candy bars sold = number of candy bars sold in the first week + number of candy bars sold in the second week + number of candy bars sold in the third week
Total number of candy bars sold = 26 + 48 + 78
Therefore, the total number of candy bars sold over the three weeks is 152.
