Question

jack works at a party supply store. he sold 608 balloons in the last 19 days. what was his selling rate in balloons per day?
a. 32 balloons per day
b. 30 balloons per day
c. 29 balloons per day
d. 34 balloons per day

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for rate

The formula for rate (average number of balloons sold per day) is $\text{Rate}=\frac{\text{Total number of balloons}}{\text{Number of days}}$.

Step2: Substitute the values into the formula

Here, the total number of balloons is $608$ and the number of days is $19$. So, $\text{Rate}=\frac{608}{19}$.

Step3: Perform the division

When we divide $608$ by $19$, we get $608\div19 = 32$.

Answer:

A. 32 balloons per day
