Let's represent the numbers by : x, x+1, x+2, x+3
x+x+1+x+2+x+3=40 The third number in the sequence is x+2
4x+6=40 8.5+2=10.5
4x+6-6=40-6 Therefore the third number in the sequence is
4x=34 10.5
4x/4=34/4
x=8.5
Let's first find the number of apple pies.
apple pies = 65 crates x 43 apple pies per crate = 2795 apples pies
If each apple pie cost $12 then...
money from apple pies = 2795 apple pies x $12 = $33540
total pies sold = 2795 apple pie + 121 boxes x 76 sweet potato pies = 11991 pies
