Question

Dan sells 85 magazines a day and x magazines in 2 weeks. Find the value of X.

• A. 1,190
• B. 1,191
• C. 1,192
• D. 1,193

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1,190

Total number of days in 2 weeks $=2\times 7=14$

The number of magazines sold each day $=85$

Let the total number of magazines to be sold in 2 weeks be $x$
$\therefore \frac{\text{Total number of magazines to be sold in 2 weeks}}{\text{Total number of days in 2 weeks}}=\text{The number of magazines sold each day}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{85}=14$

Multiply both side by 85
$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{85}\times 85=14\times 85$

$\Rightarrow x=14\times 85\Rightarrow x=1,190$

Hence, total number of magazines sold in 2 weeks is 1,190
