Question

13) Amy spent $29.76 on diapers. If they cost

$3.72 / package, how many packages did
she buy?

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

If Amy spent $29.76 on diapers, and each package is $3.72, we can determine how many packages she bought by using division.

29.76 / 3.72 = number of packages bought

The answer to the equation is 8.

Amy bought 8 packages

Answer 2

• 8 packages

Explanation:

We know that:

• 1 package = $3.72
• Amy = $29.76

Solution:

• 1 package = $3.72
• x packages = $29.76 = 3.72x
• => 29.76 = 3.72x
• => x = 29.76/3.72
• => x = 8
• => x packages = $29.76
• => 8 packages = $29.76

Hence, Amy bought 8 packages.
