Question

Rover eats 3/4 of a can of cat food each day and Bono eats 1/2 of a can food each day.Cat food costs $5.00 for three cans.It is only sold in 3 can packs.How much does it cost for a 60 day supply of cat food?

Answer 1

It would Cost $125 for a 60 day supply of cat food.

Explanation:

Given:

Rover eats cat food each day =
`(3)/(4)` = 0.75 can

Bono eats cat food each day =
`(1)/(2)` = 0.5 can

Each day consumption for both cats = 0.75+0.5 = 1.25 can

Each day both cats consume = 1.25 cans

For 60 days both cats consume = Number of cans in 60 days.

By Using Unitary method we get;

Number of cans in 60 days =
`1.25*60=75 \ cans`

Now Cans are sold in a pack of 3.

Hence we will divide number of cans in 60 days with 3 we get;

Number of can packs required for 60 days =
`(75)/(3)=25 \ can \ packs`

Now Cost for each Can packs(3 can) = $5.00

Hence Cost for 25 Can packs (75 cans) = Price for 25 can packs(75 can)

By Using Unitary method we get;

Price for 25 can packs (75 cans) =
`5* 25 = \$125`

Hence Price for 25 can packs (75 cans) which are used for 60 supply of cat food is $125.
