Question

You buy a deluxe box of 45 ornaments for your tree for $15 when you get home and open the box you realize that 10 of the ornaments are broken how much money did you waste and how much money did each ornament cost

Answer 1

$ wasted: 3.33, Each Ornament Cost: $0.33

Explanation:

45 ornaments cost $15

Divide both by three

3 ornaments cost $1

If 10 ornaments are wasted, then multiply 1 by 10/3, which equals 3.33.

Since 3 ornaments cost $1, divide 1 by 3 to get 0.33
