Question

Heather buys 12 patio chairs for $366. Each chair costs the same amount.

Part A
Which equation represents the best estimate for the cost of each chair?
Part B
What is the exact cost of each chair
Heather also buys 12 patio lights for $63. She estimates the cost of each light to be about $5.
She then calculates the actual cost of each light to be $2.40. Use the drop-down
boxes to explain whether her calculation is reasonable

Answer 1

Part A+B: $360 ÷ 12 = $30
Her calculation is not reasonable, you will need to do 63/12 which is $5.25
5.25x12=63
