she sold 4 2/5 boxes of candy bars.
In total, she sold 88 bars.
Hope this helps
Answer: 1) The total number of boxes that Avery sold as a mixed number is \(4\frac{2}{5}\)
2) The total number of candy bars she sold is 88.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, According to the question,
1) \(20\text{ bars}=1 \text{ box}\)
\(\implies 1\text{ bar}=\frac{1}{20}\text{ box}\)
\(\implies 8\text{ bars}=\frac{8}{20}\text{ box}\)
\(\implies 8\text{ bars}=\frac{2}{5}\text{ box}\)
If she sold 4 boxes and an additional 8 bars,
Thus, the total number of boxes she sold = 4 boxes + 2/5 boxes
= \(4\frac{2}{5}\)
2) Now,
\(1\text{ box}=20\text{ bars}\)
\(\implies 4\text{ box}=80\text{ bars}\)
If she sold 4 boxes and an additional 8 bars,
Thus, the total numbers of bars she sold = 80 bars + 8 bars = 88 bars.
