216bottles/3days * 5days = 360 bottles of water.
360 - 245 = -----------More bottles of water.
so your answer is 115
To find the average number of bags of popcorn sold per day, we divide the total number of bags of popcorn sold (147) by the number of days (3):
Average bags of popcorn per day = 147 bags ÷ 3 days = 49 bags per day
Similarly, to find the average number of bottles of water sold per day, we divide the total number of bottles of water sold (216) by the number of days (3):
Average bottles of water per day = 216 bottles ÷ 3 days = 72 bottles per day
Now, to find out how many more bottles of water than bags of popcorn Mr. Nelson will sell in 5 days, we multiply the average difference per day by the number of days (5):
Difference in bottles of water and bags of popcorn = (72 bottles per day - 49 bags per day) × 5 days
Difference in bottles of water and bags of popcorn = 23 bottles per day × 5 days
Difference in bottles of water and bags of popcorn = 115 bottles
Therefore, Mr. Nelson will sell 115 more bottles of water than bags of popcorn in 5 days.
