Question

Miss Roja plans to sell tote bags at the art festival

for $33 each. She will need to make $265 to pay the rent for the space at the festival. . About how many totes bags will she needs to pay the rent

Answer 1

9 totes

Explanation:

300 divided by 30 = 10

Answer 2

1 tote= $33
Rent = $265

265/33= 8.03 (but Miss Roja has to sell WHOLE totes)
8*33= $264
9*33= $297

To make rent Miss Roja will have to sell 9 totes. If Miss Roja only sells 8 totes she will make $264, which is not enough to cover rent. Therefore she must sell 9 totes. She will make $297, which is enough to cover rent.
