Jayden is in charge of bringing bottled water to a party that has 32 guests. Bottled water is sold in packs of 6 and each pack costs $15.3. Part A: enter the total number of packs of water Jayden will need to bring to the party if each guest is to have 1 bottle of water. Part B: enter the total cost, in dollars, Jayden will spend on bottled water for the party. A.

Answer 1

The number of packs required is 6 and the amount spent would be $91.8

Part A :

Number of packs of bottle water needed :

• Number of guests / Number of bottles per pack

Now we have ;

Number of packs = 32 / 6 = 5.33

Hence, 6 packs of bottle water would be needed.

Part B:

Amount spent on bottle water:

• Cost per pack × number of packs

Now we have :

15.3 × 6 = $91.8
