Question

The band spent 1,480 on food for the end of year picnic . If 73 band students attended the picnic , which is the best estimate of the cost of food per student

Answer 1

It would cost $20.27 per student.

Explanation:

This is a division problem since is gave a total amount ($1480) and gave you an amount (73) which needs to equal 1480 after multiplying it by something. 1480 / 73 would equal 20.27397... You can round the number to the hundredths which would give you $20.27
