Question

Laura is making a patio in her backyard using paving stones. She buys 44 paving stones and a flowerpot worth $7 for a total of $73. How much did each paving stone cost?

Answer 1

Each pave stone is 0.15. You can put 44 into 66 1 time. Then you get 22 then put a decimal point after 66 and after the decimal point put a zero. Then bring the 0 down to 22 and that makes 220. 44 x 5 is 220. Subtract 220 from 220 and there’s the answer.

Answer 2

1.50 each paving stone
