On Friday 1/3 of 180 bottles of water on a supermarket shelf were dold. On Saturday 3/5 of the remainder were sold. All the remaining bottles were sold on Sunday. a) How many bottles were sold on Sunday. b) How many more bottles of water were sold on Saturday than on Friday?​

To find 1/3 of 180, we need to multiply 180 by 1/3, or divide 180 by 3. For this one, we will try both methods.

180/1 x 1/3 = 180/3 or 60

180 / 3 =60

Since we now know how much was sold, we need to find what is left. We need to subtract 180 by 60.

180-60=120

So 120 bottles are left. Now, since 3/5 of 120 were sold the next day, we need to multiply 120 by 3/5.

120/1 x 3/5 = 360/5 or 72.

Now we know that 72 bottles were sold on Saturday. Subtract 120 by 72 to know how much is left in total.

120-72=48

60 bottles of water were sold on Friday.

72 bottles of water were sold on Saturday.

There were 12 more bottles sold on Saturday than Friday.

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.

answer: x=3 and y=4
