5. If one big carton can hold 9 bulbs. How many cartons were needed in the given week?

Answer 1

1. The number of bulbs sold on Friday is 14 bulbs.
2. On Sunday the highest number of bulbs i.e 18 are sold. Thus a maximum number of bulbs were sold on Sunday.
3. On Wednesday and Saturday, 8 bulbs are sold. Hence an equal number of bulbs were sold on Wednesday and Saturday.
4. A minimum number of bulbs were sold on Wednesday and Saturday i.e. 8 bulbs.

5. Total number of bulbs sold in a week

   = 12 + 16 + 8 + 10 + 14 + 8 + 18

   = 86
