Question

how many packages of diapers can you buy with 40$ if one packages cost 8$. this is a one step equation

Answer 1

In order to determine how many packages of diapers you can buy, it is only necessary to divide the total money you have, between the price of each package.

You have:

available money = 40$

package cost = 8$

Then, you calculate the quotient between available money and package cost:

`(40)/(8)=5`

Hence, you can buy 5 packages of diapers with 40$
