Question

Mirka went to a sporting event with some friends. They bought 4 snacks of equal price and a drink that cost $3. How much did each snack cost if they spent $24?

a) $4
b) $5
c) $6
d) $7

Answer 1

Each snack costs $5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of each snack, we need to subtract the cost of the drink from the total amount spent. Since they spent $24 and the drink cost $3, the total cost of the snacks is $24 - $3 = $21.

Since they bought 4 snacks of equal price, we can divide the total cost by the number of snacks to find the cost of each snack. Therefore, each snack cost $21 / 4 = $5.
