Question

Tanaja bought 28 bags of candy for $140 for her birthday party. She knows that 4 bags of candy will serve 5 guests. Now, she is planning for a holiday party. How much will it cost her if she invites 40 guests to the holiday party?

Answer 1

$160

Explanation:

28 bags cost $140

4 bags will serve 5 guests

Number of bags that will serve 40 guests:

(40 /5) * 4bags

8 * 4 bags = 32 bags of candy

A bag of candy will cost :

$140 / 28 = $5

Cost of 32 bags :

Cost per bag * 32

$5 * 32 = $160
