Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Let's use algebra to solve the problem. Let's say the number of quarts sold is q and the number of pints sold is 2q (since Ken sells twice as many pints as quarts). The total number of items sold is 800q (800 quarts) + 2q(2,400-800=1,600 pints) = 2,400. Solving for q, we get q=800. Therefore, Ken sells 800 quarts of ale, which matches the given information, making the statement true.
