Question

Bags of clementines have 12 each
Sal, Trisha and Joe each brought a bag all together there were 180
Sal brought 4 bags and Joe brought 6

Answer 1

Let's break down the information provided about the bags of clementines.

1. Each bag has 12 clementines.
2. Sal, Trisha, and Joe brought a total of 180 clementines.
3. Sal brought 4 bags, and Joe brought 6 bags.

First, we can calculate the total number of clementines that Sal and Joe brought:

- Sal brought 4 bags × 12 clementines/bag = 48 clementines.
- Joe brought 6 bags × 12 clementines/bag = 72 clementines.

Now, we can add the number of clementines that Sal and Joe brought together:

\[
48 \text{ (Sal)} + 72 \text{ (Joe)} = 120 \text{ clementines}
\]

Since the total number of clementines brought by all three is 180, we can find out how many clementines Trisha brought:

\[
180 \text{ (total)} - 120 \text{ (Sal and Joe)} = 60 \text{ clementines}
\]

To find out how many bags Trisha brought, we divide the number of clementines by the number of clementines per bag:

\[
\frac{60 \text{ clementines}}{12 \text{ clementines/bag}} = 5 \text{ bags}
\]

So, Trisha brought 5 bags of clementines.

In summary:
- Sal: 4 bags
- Joe: 6 bags
- Trisha: 5 bags
