Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
On the first day, Ben (B) starts with 10 tubs and Winston (W) starts with 0 tubs.
After the first day, Ben sells 8 tubs per day while Winston sells 9 tubs per day.
Therefore we can write the following equation: (Where d = number of days)
B = 10 + 8d
W = 0 + 9d = 9d
We are told that eventually they will sell the same amount which means
B = W
This means we can say,
10 + 8d = 9d
If we subtract 8d from both sides we get
10 = d
Therefore it will take 10 days for them to sell the same amount of cookie dough.
Answer: 10 days
10 + 8 x 10 = 90
9 x 10 = 90.
It will take 10 days for Ben and Winston to sell the same amount of cookie dough.
