Louli
Answer:
14 cases

Explanation:
First, we will need to find the number of cases needed per day:
We know that one case includes 150 bars and that the daily consumption is 300 bars. To know the number of cases needed daily, we will use cross multiplication as follows:
1 case .............> 150 bars
?? cases .........> 300 bars
number of cases needed daily = [tex] \frac{300*1}{150} [/tex]
number of cases needed daily = 2 cases

Then, we will get the number of cases needed weekly (7 days):
We know that 2 cases are needed daily. To know the number of cases needed weekly (7 days), we will simply use cross multiplication as follows:
1 day .............> 2 cases
7 days ...........> ?? cases
number of cases needed weekly = [tex] \frac{7*2}{1} [/tex]
number of cases needed weekly = 14 cases

Hope this helps :)
