Question

14. You are changing a school $5.50 for each football program. The school has $2200 in s budget to spend

on the football programs. How many programs can the school purchase with this budget?

Answer 1

The school can host 400 football programs.

Explanation:

To find out how many football programs, you will need to divide because this question is like 'Adam has 6 apples. Adam has 2 friends. How many apples can each friend take?'. It would look like:

2200÷5.5 (the '0' in 5.50 cancels out because it means the same thing as 5.5)

22000÷55 (the extra '0' in the 2200 is there because to divide by decimals, the divisor has to be a whole number and to get a whole number from 5.5, you have to times it by ten and if you do that to the 5.5, you will have to do it to the 2200)

Then you do long division and your final answer would be:

400.

Therefore, the school can host 400 football programs.
