Question

Ms. Morgan plans to serve cookies at a class party. Each package of cookies costs $2.49 and contains 6 cookies. Ms. Morgan has $17.00 to spend. Will Ms. Morgan have enough money to provide each of her 19 students with 2 cookies each?

Answer 1

Answer: No

Explanation:

At $2.49, $17 can buy 6 packs of cookies. There are six packs of 6 cookies so 36 cookies.

36/19= 1.89

So no, She cannot provide her 19 students with 2 cookies each.

Answer 2

Yes

Explanation:

If you do 17/2.49 is 6.8

6.8 * 6 is 40.8

With 19 students 40.8/19 is 2.1, which rounded down would just be 2

So yes
