Hint #2: 25 cartons per day are sold

anonymous · Answer

that doesnt make since explain it to me

hero · Answer

Explanation: Everyday, the amount of cartons in the vending machine are reduced by 25.

hero · Answer

So James needs to compensate for that amount for an entire week.

anonymous · Answer

i guess

hero · Answer

The logic goes a little something like this: 

Day 1 = 25 cartons
Day 2 = 50 cartons
Day 3 = 75 cartons
Day 4 = 100 cartons

Day 7 = x cartons

hero · Answer

Can you figure out what x is? 

If you find x, that will equal the amount James should fill the vending machine.

hero · Answer

That would be the amount of chocolate milk that will last an entire week.

anonymous · Answer

day 7 is 175

hero · Answer

Hmmm, actually, I just remembered that there are only 5 days in a school week

hero · Answer

so 25 x 5 = 125

anonymous · Answer

ya

hero · Answer

So James should fill 125 cartons for the school week.

anonymous · Answer

oh
