B) 16
C) 80
D) 0​

Respuesta :

Using proportions, it is found that she made 16 more 0.5 lb bags than 0.75 lb bags, option B.

--------------------

  • She made 48 lbs.
  • Half of that, that is, 24 lbs, she used for 0.75 lb bags. Thus, she sold 32 0.75 lb bags of cocoa, as [tex]\frac{24}{0.75} = 32[/tex]
  • The other half, also of 24 lbs, she used for 0.5 lb bags. Since [tex]\frac{24}{0.5} = 48[/tex], she sold 48 0.5 lb bags of cocoa.
  • 48 - 32 = 16, thus, she made 16 more 0.5 lb bags than 0.75 lb bags of cocoa, which means that the correct option is B.
