The Chewy Candy Company is test marketing a new candy bar in Seoul and Manila.

In Seoul, the company sold 40 candy bars by the end of the first month, and each month the cumulative total number of candy bars sold increases by 60.

In Manila, the company sold

20 candy bars by the end of the first month, and the cumulative total number of candy bars sold increases by approximately 80% each month.

The company's board assembles at the end of each month to review the cumulative total number of candies sold in each city.

What is the first month in which the board will see the cumulative total number of candy bars sold in Manila exceeded the cumulative total in Seoul?

Answer:It is 6 months.

Armani Pham · Answer 2

End month 5 (5th month) is the answer

Seoul = 40-60% = 30% of 20 sweets = 6 = 12 + 40 = 52 + 12 = 64

12 + 64 = 76 + 12 = 88

12 + 88 = 100

Manila = 20 = 80% = 40% of 20 sweets = 8 = 16 + 20 = 36 + 16 = 52

16 + 52 = 68 + 16 = 84

84 + 16 = 100

Its actually end month 5
