It looks like you are describing a situation where Peter and Catherine are selling cookies for a fundraiser, but I see you mentioned a table that represents the number of boxes Catherine has left after a certain number of days. However, you didn't provide the table or any data from it.

To help you further, could you please provide the specific data from the table for Catherine's cookie sales? With that information, I can help analyze and compare Peter and Catherine's cookie sales!

In the meantime, here's how we can approach the problem using Peter's information:

  1. Peter's Sales:

    • Starting number of boxes: 300
    • Rate of sales: 15 boxes per day
    • Formula to find the number of boxes left after \( x \) days: \[ \text{Boxes left} = 300 - 15x \]
  2. Catherine's Sales:

    • Please provide the table or the specific data you have about Catherine so we can make a comparison.

Once we have both Peter's and Catherine's data, we can analyze their sales over time and see who has sold more cookies or how many boxes they have left after a certain number of days.
