Question

How to do 53.97÷3 (pizzas), 13.35÷15 (balloons), 33.00÷12 (cupcakes), and 16.47÷3 (ice cream)? Their budget is $300. Provide the answers for the 4 questions and calculate how much money they have left.

Answer 1

After dividing the amounts to find the cost per item, the total spent is $116.79. Therefore, from the $300 budget, $183.21 remains.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the division problems, we divide the total amount by the number of items to find the cost per item:

• 53.97 ÷ 3 pizzas = 17.99 per pizza
• 13.35 ÷ 15 balloons = 0.89 per balloon
• 33.00 ÷ 12 cupcakes = 2.75 per cupcake
• 16.47 ÷ 3 ice cream = 5.49 per ice cream

To calculate the remaining budget after these purchases, add the cost of items:

• Total cost = (17.99 * 3) + (0.89 * 15) + (2.75 * 12) + (5.49 * 3)
• Total cost = 53.97 + 13.35 + 33.00 + 16.47
• Total cost = 116.79

Now subtract the total cost from the budget:

• Budget - Total cost = 300 - 116.79
• Money left = 183.21
