First, let's calculate how many pounds of cocoa Briona used to make 0.75 lb bags:
48 lbs / 2 = 24 lbs
Now let's calculate how many 0.75 lb bags Briona made:
24 lbs / 0.75 lbs = 32 bags
Next, let's calculate how many pounds of cocoa Briona used to make 0.5 lb bags:
48 lbs / 2 = 24 lbs
Now let's calculate how many 0.5 lb bags Briona made:
24 lbs / 0.5 lbs = 48 bags
Now let's calculate the difference in the number of 0.5 lb bags and 0.75 lb bags:
48 - 32 = 16
Briona made 16 more 0.5 lb bags than 0.75 lb bags.
Briona made 48 lbs of homemade cocoa to sell at a local farmer’s market.
She used half of the cocoa to make 0.75 lb bags to sell and half of the cocoa to make 0.5 lb. bags to sell.
How many more 0.5 lb bags than 0.75 lb bags of cocoa did Briona make?
