Please help me with my question vvv

Question

The concession at the amusement park begins the day with 500 popcorn containers. When the park closes twelve hours later, the inventory shows that there are only 44 containers left.

Answer 1

Destini,

Are you looking for an hourly average of popcorn container consumption?

 

Obviously, the next consumption of popcorn containers is: 500 - 44 = 456 over a span of 12 hours. So if this IS an average rate of reduction question, then 456 / 12 = 38 containers per hour.

 

I hope this helps!
