Question

If 5 deli sandwiches cost $29.75, how much will 8 sandwiches cost?

Question 5 options:

a)

$0.16


b)

$37.75


c)

$47.60


d)

$29.75

Answer 1

In order to get the answer for this question you must first divide 29.75 by 5 to get how much it cost per sandwich. Then multiple by three or add 5.95 to itself three times to get the amount for three sandwiches. Then add the amount it cost for three sandwiches by the amount it cost for five to get your answer.

`5DS=29.75`

`29.75/5= 5.95`

`1DS=5.95`

`5.95+5.95+5.95=17.85`

`3DS=17.85`

`17.85+29.75=47.60`

`8DS=47.60`

`=47.60\`

Therefore the answer is option C "$47.60."

Hope this helps
