Question

Four teachers bought 10 origami books and 100 packs of oragami paper for their classrooms. They will share the cost of the items equally. How much should each teacher pay?

Answer 1

The total cost of the origami materials needs to be divided by four to find out how much each teacher should pay. Without the prices of the materials, we can't calculate the exact amount per teacher.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much each teacher should pay, we must first calculate the total cost of the 10 origami books and 100 packs of origami paper. However, the question does not specify the costs of these items, so we cannot provide an exact answer without this information. Once the total cost is known, you can evenly divide that cost by the number of teachers, which is four, to find the amount each teacher should pay.

For example, if the 10 origami books and 100 packs of origami paper together cost $200, you would calculate the total cost per teacher like this:

• Total Cost: $200
• Number of Teachers: 4
• Amount per Teacher: Total Cost ÷ Number of Teachers
• Amount per Teacher: $200 ÷ 4 = $50

In this scenario, each teacher would pay $50.

Answer 2

They will take the total price and divide it by four. So x will be the price, so the equation will be x/4=total price per person.
