Question

Please help me it's due TOMORROW !!1!1!

You also purchased a bulk case of Apple Jacks. Your assistant incorrectly calculated the cost for an individual box in the case as $18.80. Identify the error your assistant made and determine the correct cost per box. Explain your response below.

Explain how you solved this problem and what you got as your answer.
Please don't only give me the answer, actually EXPLAIN.

Answer 1

The correct cost per box is $1.88 (47÷ 25=1.88). The error the assistant made was moving the decimal point

Answer 2

The actual answer would be 1.88 per box, since 47/25= 1.88

I’m guessing the assistant misplaced a decimal, making it 18.80


Answer: Misplaced decimal
Actual Amount: 1.88
