Question

One apple costs S0.55 at the grocery store. Customers receive one free apple for every 8 apples that they buy. Anna paid a total of $8.80 for her apples. How many apples did Anna receive?

Answer 1

She was given 1 free apple and paid for 15 apples.

Explanation:

1.1x8=8.8

8.8/.55=16

16-1=15

And you know she paid for 15 apples and got 1 free.
