Question

A craft store bought 27 1/4 ounces of potpourri. The shop divides the potpourri into 2 1/2 ounce bags and sells each bag fire $4.25.

How many full 2 1/2 ounce bags of potpourri can the shop make?

If all the bag are sold, how much money will the shop bring in?

Answer 1

27 1/4= (4*27+1)/4=109/4

2 1/2=(2*2+1)/2=5/2

109/4:5/2=109/4*2/5=109/10=10 9/10 -----
10 full bags

10*4,25=42,5 $
