Answer

  1. Expression: (10 workers * $150) + (88 workers * $50) = Total daily wage
    Calculation: (10 * 150) + (88 * 50) = 1500 + 4400 = 5900
    Answer: The factory pays out $5,900 each day.

  2. Expression: (Total wages for 5 days + Total supplies for 5 days) - Total income
    Calculation: (5900 * 5) + (1135.78 * 5) = 29500 + 5678.9 = 35178.9
    Total profit or loss = 60128.72 - 35178.9 = 24949.82
    Answer: The factory's total profit in one week is $24,949.82.

  3. Expression: (35 bars - 6 bars) * $20 * 4 weeks
    Calculation: (35 - 6) * 20 * 4 = 29 * 20 * 4 = 2320
    Answer: The total sale at the end of a four-week month is $2,320.

  4. Expression: 30 cookies - (3 students * 2 cookies) - 3 cookies + 2 cookies
    Calculation: 30 - 6 - 3 + 2 = 23
    Answer: Emily had 23 cookies left to pass out.
