A chef makes 3 containers of soup that fill a total of 120 soup bowls. Each container of soup costs $30 to make. What is the cost per bowl for the soup?

If you have 3 containers and they all cost $30 the total price is $90. Since there are 120 bowls you have to distribute the cost evenly so you divide the price by the number of bowls.
90/120=.75
the price of one soup bowl costs $0.75.
Hope I helped...
