Question

Jack works at a party supply store. He sold 1,292 balloons in the last 19 days. What was his selling rate in balloons per day?
A.
68 balloons per day
B.
66 balloons per day
C.
70 balloons per day
D.
71 balloons per day

Answer 1

To find Jack's selling rate in balloons per day, you can divide the total number of balloons sold by the number of days:

\[
\text{Selling rate} = \frac{\text{Total balloons sold}}{\text{Number of days}} = \frac{1292}{19}
\]

Calculating that:

\[
\frac{1292}{19} = 68
\]

So, Jack's selling rate is **68 balloons per day**.

The correct answer is **A. 68 balloons per day**.
