Question

A shop sells apples at $1 each. Each of these apples are wrapped in a special wrapper. You can trade 3 of these wrappers for 1 apple. If you have $15, how many apples can you get altogether?

24 apples
22 apples
32 apples

Answer 1

This doesn't make sense because the answer is not any of these choices.
If they cost $1.00 each and you have $15.00 that buys you 15 apples
3 wrappers will get you another apple
you will get 15 wrappers. 15 wrappers
3wrappersx5apples=15wrappers total
So you get 5 apples plus the 15 apples=20 apples total
