Question

Amelia needs to buy some dog food. At the nearest​ store, 2 bags of dog food cost ​$9.50 How much would Amelia spend on 5 bags of dog ​food?

Answer 1

2 bags of dog food is $9.50

9.50/2 is 4.75

This means 1 bag of dog food is $4.75

Multiply $4.75 by bags of dog food (5)

4.75(5) = 23.75

Answer: $23.75

Answer 2

Five bags would cost $23.75

Explanation:

We first need to figure out how much one bag of dog food costs. To do this, we need to do
`(9.50)/(2)`

This answer is $4.75 for each bag of dog food.

Now since we are buying 5 bags of dog food, we would multiply 5 by $4.75:
`(5)($4.75)` = $23.75.

Therefore, it will cost us $23.75 to buy 5 bags of dog food. Hope this helped!
