Question

Sara has two puppies, Sonny & Cher. Every month she purchases enough food to feed her puppies for the month. Sonny eats 8.25 cans of food per week. Cher eats 15 1/2 cans of food per week. Sara purchases a 40 can variety pack of Cute Puppy food that costs $21.

Determine the number of 40 can packages of Cute Puppy that Sara needs to purchase to feed her puppies for one month. Use 4 weeks or 28 days to represent a month
Help, please

Answer 1

Total number of cans per week: 8.25 + 15.5 = 23.75 cans

23.75 cans per week x 4 weeks = 95 cans per month

95 cans / 40 cans per package = 2.375 cases per month

Round up to 3 cases.

She needs to buy 3 cases a month
