Answer: It costs 23.75 for 5 bags of cat food.

Step-by-step explanation: If 3 bags of cat food costs 14.25 to figure out how much it costs. First thing to do is, divide the known number (14.25) or the costs by the amount of bags that made up to this price.

14.25 divided by 3 equals 4.75.

4.75 is the costs of 1 bag of cat foods. Now for the final step, multiply the cost of 1 bag (4.75) by 5 because we’re trying to see how much it costs for 5 bags of cat food.

4.75

x 5

= 23.75!

you’re welcome!!
