If santa can buy two bags of reindeer for for $3.75 then how many full bags can he buy with $20?

Answer 1

He can buy 2 bags of reindeer for $3.75 .The price for each bag will be

`\begin{gathered} 2\text{ bag = \$3.75} \\ 1\text{ bag = ?} \\ \text{cross multiply} \\ \text{price per bag = }(3.75)/(2) \\ \text{price per bag = \$1.875} \end{gathered}`

The number of full bag he can buy for $20 can be computed below

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \$ 1.875 = 1 bag} \\ \text{ \$20 = ?} \\ \text{ number of bags = }(20)/(1.875) \\ \text{ number of bags = }10.6666666667 \\ \text{Number of full bag }=10 \end{gathered}`
