12 Days of Christmas 2024 - 2025 Competition with $40,000 of Prizes
An artisan bakery sells three types of bread: whole wheat, sourdough, and rye. In a certain month, sourdough sales account for 40% of the total loaves sold and exceed rye sales by 150 loaves.
If the bakery sold 1,000 loaves in that month, select for
Whole wheat loaves the number of whole wheat loaves sold, and select for
Rye loaves the number of rye loaves sold in that month. Make only two selections, one in each column.
Whole Wheat (W), Sourdough (S), Rye (R)
Number of loaves of W + S + R = 1000
Number of S = 40% (1000) = 400
Also, S = R + 150
So, R = S - 150 = 400 - 150 = 250
W + S + R = 1000
W + 400 + 250 = 1000
W = 1000 - 650
W = 350
Number of Whole wheat loaves sold = 350
Number of Rye loaves sold = 250
