Mark and Ann together were allocated n boxes of cookies to sell for a club project. Mark sold 10 boxes less than n and Ann sold 2 boxes less than n. If Mark and Ann have each sold at least one box of cookies, but together they have sold less than n boxes, what is the value of n?

A) 11
B) 12
C) 13
D) 14
E) 15

A) 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M and A represent number of boxes of cookies sold by Mark and Ann respectively.

We have been given that Mark sold 10 boxes less than n. We can represent this information as: .

Ann sold 2 boxes less than n, so number of boxes of cookies sold by Ann would be .

Further we are told that Mark and Ann have each sold at least one box of cookies, so we will get:

and .

Now, we can set two inequality as:

 and  

   and  

 and

We are also told that together they have sold less than n boxes. We can represent this information in an inequality as:

Let us solve for n.

Upon combining our inequalities , and , we can see that the value of n that will be less than 12 and greater than or equal to 11 is 11.

Therefore, the value of n is 11 and option A is correct choice.

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
