Question

Marco needs to buy cat food. At the nearest store, 3 bags of cat food cost $15.75. How much would Marco spend on 5 bags of cat food?

Answer 1

To find the money he would have to spend on 5 bags of cat food, we would first need to find the cost of a single bag of cat food by dividing $15.75 by 3:

15.75÷3
=$5.25

Afterwards we can mutiply the above answer by 5 to find the answer:

5.25×5
=$26.25

Therefore the answe is $26.25.

Hope it helps!
