Question

A store had 5 packs of paper for $7.80. How much would it cost if you were to buy 3 packs?

Answer 1

If the store sold 5 packs of paper for $7.80, to find out the price of one pack we do:

7.80/5 = 1.56.

So, the price of 1 pack of paper is $1.56.

# packs will be 3*1.56= $4.68

It would cost $4.68 to buy 3 packs of paper.
