We know that
In a period of 4 hours (3 hours of work and 1 hour to refuel)
each street sweepers clean------> 3 miles*3 =9 miles

divide 18 hours by 4
18/4=4.5
4.5 is equal to 4 periods of 4 hours plus 2 hours

Multiply 4 by 9 miles
4*9=36 miles

in the period of 2 hours (<span>in this period there is no refuel)
</span>3*2=6 miles

each street sweepers clean in 18 hours-----> (36+6)-----> 42 miles
two street sweepers clean in 18 hours=2*42------> 84 miles

the answer is
84 miles

denis-greek [22]

solution:

Lets start with the most amount that could have been sold.......using guess and check, we can figure out that 290 salads could have been sold, while 8 cartons of milk would have been sold.

The least amount of salads that could have been sold were none.

so,

you have  0<s<290

at least none were sold, and at most 290 were sold

but I do believe you are missing part of the question

andreyandreev [35.5K]
Percentage of discount given to senior citizens for tune-ups at the gas station = 20%
Average number of senior citizens visiting the gas station per month = 50
Average price of tune-up before discount = $49.95
Total amount that would
have been collected before discount = 49.95 * 50
                                                           = 2497.50 dollars
Total amount of discount given = (20/100) * 2497.50
                                                  = 499.50 dollars
I hope that the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
