Question

Admission to a football game was $27. In addition every menu item at the consumption stand was $4. A fan spent $43 for admission and for food and beverages. How many items did he buy at the conception stand?

Answer 1

Explanation:

the admission ticket was $27, so, in order to get the amount of money for food and beverages we need to subtract the ticket price from the total price :

43 - 27 = $16

so he spent $16 on items at the conception stand.

each item costs $4. to find the number of items we need to see how often the price of one item fits into the total amount. that is the typical use of a division.

so, he bought

16/4 = 4 items

the fan bought 4 items at the concession stand.
