Janelle and three of her friends bought four smoothies of equal cost for a total of $4. If she purchases the same smoothies on another day for herself and nine of her friends, how much money will she spend?

Since Janelle spent $4 for herself and three friends that means each smoothie was worth $1.

This means if she and nine friends go it would be $10 total since each smoothie is a dollar . Hope this helped

If Janelle and three of her friends bought four smoothies of equal cost for a total of $4, it means that each smoothie cost $1 ($4 divided by 4).

If Janelle purchases the same smoothies for herself and nine of her friends, there would be a total of 10 people. Since each smoothie costs $1, Janelle would spend $1 per smoothie multiplied by 10 smoothies, resulting in a total expenditure of $10.

Therefore, Janelle would spend $10 if she purchases the same smoothies for herself and nine of her friends.
