Max and Leah each have a lemonade stand . Max sold 12 glasses the first hour and 10 glasses each hour after that . Leah sold 8 glasses the first hour and 10 glasses each hour after that . How many glasses will each person have sold after 5 hours?

Respuesta :

Answer:

max wil sell 52 because the first hour he sold 12 5hours -1 hour = 4 hour

4 hour × 10 p/h= 40

max sold 12+40 =52

leah will sell 58 because the first hour she sold 8

5hours - 1hour = 4 hours

4hours× 10 glasses p/h = 40

leah sold 40+8 =48 glasses

If Max and Leach sold 10 glasses each hour then after Max sold 52 glasses after 5 hours and Leach sold 48 glasses after 5 hours because it forms arithmetic progression.

What is an arithmetic progression?

It is a type of sequence in which each number have a common difference from the other number. The nth term of an arithmetic progression can be calculated as a+(n-1)d.

How to calculate nth term of an A.P.?

For Max we have been given that the first term is 12 and the common difference is 10.

After 10 hours the glasses which Max will sell as 12+(5-1)*10

=12+40=52 glasses

For Leach we have been given that the first term is 8 and the common difference is 10.

After 5 hours the glasses which Leach will sell as 8+(5-1)*10

=48 glasses.

Hence the number of glasses will be 52 and 48 glasses for Max and Leach.
