HURRY PLS!!

A company orders 22 boxed lunches from a deli for $273.90. If each boxed lunch costs the same amount, how much do 16 boxed lunches cost?

Answer 1

It should be 199.20 for 16 boxes

Explanation:

I divided 273.90 by 22 which came out to 12.45

so then i multiplied 12.45 by 16 and it gave me 199.20

Answer 2

Explanation:

1 box costs x amount

18 boxes cos 223.20

Cross multiply

223.20 * 1 = 18 x

Divide by 18

223.20 / 18 = 18x / 18

x = 12.40

Cost of 1 box is 12.40
