The girls in Lana’s troop set a goal to sell 1,000 boxes of cookies this year. There are 13 girls in the troop. At least how many boxes of cookies should each girl sell to reach their goal?

77 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Lana's troop must sell 1000 boxes of cookies, but there are 13 girls in total. Supposing that each girl will sell an equal amount of boxes, we can simply divide:

÷ boxes.

Step 2:

However, it would seem unlikely that the girls would decide to sell fractions of a box of cookies. We should round...up or down?

If we round down, each girl will sell 76 boxes of cookies. Hmm... then they would'nt be able to sell a total of 1000 boxes of cookies! We need to round up.

Therefore, each girl should sell at least boxes.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

step-by-step explanation:

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
