Question

Brock is budgeting his money. He wants to make sure he has a lot of healthy food, but also that he has some snacks as well. He decided for every $9.00 he spends on healthy food, he will spend $1.00 on snacks. If he spends $100.00 at the store this week, how much did he spend on snacks?

Answer 1

Brock spent 11.11 on snacks at the store

Answer 2

Answer: He would have spent 10 dollars on snacks.

Step-by-step explanation: If Brock buys $9 on healthy food, he will then buy $1 of snacks. This creates an addition problem of 9+1=10. If you were to take that problem and multiply it by ten you would get 90+10=100. So with Brock spending $90 on healthy food, he has spent another $10 on snacks.
