Question

I need a answer to A coffee shop has a sale. When customers pay for 3​ coffees, they get another coffee free. If Gregory pays for 12​ coffees, how many coffees does he get for​ free? How many coffees does Gregory​ have? Write division and addition equations to show how the quantities are related

Answer 1

Gregory gets 4 coffee for free and the total number of coffee he gets is 16.

Explanation:

Given that when customers pay for 3​ coffees, they get another coffee free.

So, for the cost of 3 coffee, 1 coffee is free.

Therefore, for the cost of 3n coffee, n coffee is free.

As Gregory pays for 12=3x4​ coffees, the number of free coffee, n=4.

So, the total number of coffee Gregory = 12+4=16.

Hence, Gregory gets 4 coffee for free and the total number of coffee he gets is 16.
