Answer:
115 bottles of water
Step-by-step explanation:
To make this easier, let us find out how many items he sells in one day. We can do this by dividing his original sales by 3, since it took him 3 days to sell the original.
[tex]\frac{147}{3} = 49[/tex]
[tex]\frac{216}{3} = 72[/tex]
We now know it took Mr. Nelson one day to sell 49 bags of popcorn and 72 bottles of water.
To find out how much Mr. Nelson sold in 5 days, all we need to do is multiply the numbers by 5.
[tex]49 * 5 = 245[/tex]
[tex]72*5=360[/tex]
It takes Mr. Nelson 5 days to sell 245 bags of popcorn and 360 bottles of water. However, the question is asking how many MORE bottles of water than bags of popcorn will he sell in five days.
Since we have how many he sold in five days, we need to get the difference of the two answers by subtracting them:
[tex]360-245=115[/tex]
