Question

Landon bought a tray of plants for $8.15. There were 16 plants in the tray. If Landon only bought 1 plant,about how much would it have cost ?

Answer 1

Easy, to find the price of 1 plant, take


`(8.15)/(16)` and find out what that is.

Because if 16 plants are $8.15

Then 1 plant is 51 cents (rounded)

8.15/16=0.509375

0.509375*100= 50.9= 51 (rounded)

Answer 2

0.51 is the answer. In order to find it you have to do 8 divided by 16 which equals  .509375. Then once you round it you get $ 0.51
