Question

Container	Bushel	Box	Bag
Pounds Per Container	39.2	15.5	5.5

Answer 1

1. First things first, you need to multiply the weight of one bushel by how many bushels Mason sold. The equation would look like this: 39.2 * 9 =. The amount of bushels in pounds of apples he sold equals 352.8 pounds.
2. The next thing to do is multiply the weight of one box by the number of boxes he sold. This is the equation: 15.5 * 25 =. The amount of boxes in pounds he sold in terms of apples equals 387.5 pounds.
3. Then, the next thing to do is to multiply the weight of one bag by the number of bags he sold. This is the equation: 5.5 * 40. The amount of bags in pounds he sold in terms of apples is 220.
4. Lastly, you need to subtract 1,015 pounds of apples from the amount he sold (352.8 + 387.5 + 220 = 960.3. 1,015 - 960.3 = 54.7 pounds of apples that Mason has left.
