Question

Matt needs to make $230 for a trip. He plans on selling 16 bags of snacks to raise money. The lowest acceptable price for him to sell these to make his goal is $______.

Answer 1

So here you just want to find how many times you can fit 16 into 230 to find the lowest acceptable price.

The actual answer is 14.375, but we should round up to 14.38.

So the lowest acceptable price for Matt to sell bags of snacks is $14.38.

Answer 2

Divide 230 by 16 and you'll get 14 point a lot of numbers so then just keep adding some cents like $14.20 then multiply by 16 so 16 x $14.20 =227 so then do 16 x $14.40 =230 so your answer is $14.40 I believe
