Question

A store is running a "buy 3 get 2 free" promotion on twelve-packs of soda. Each twelve-pack costs $5.49. How much will Peter pay for 25 twelve-packs of soda?

Answer 1

Answer:82.35

Explanation:

For every 3 you buy, you get 2 free. This means out of every 5 twelve-packs, you pay for 3 of them, or 60%.

3/5 = 60%

if you buy 25 of them, you pay for 60% of 25 twelve-packs, or 15 of them.

25 x 0.6 = 15

15 twelve-packs, each one is $5.49, then the total would be $82.35.

15 x 5.49 = 82.35

Answer 2

Answer: $82.35

Explanation:

For every 3 you buy, you get 2 free. This means out of every 5 twelve-packs, you pay for 3 of them, or 60%.

3/5 = 0.6 or 60%

So, if you buy 25 of them, you pay for 60% of 25 twelve-packs, or 15 of them.

25 x 0.6 = 15

If you are paying for 15 twelve-packs, and each one is $5.49, then the total would be $82.35.

15 x 5.49 = 82.35
