Question

Kyle bought a cake for $8 and five of the same brand and size ice cream bars for a party. He spent a total of $28.40. How much did each ice cream bar cost? Use a tape diagram to help you solve the problem, if necessary.

Answer 1

Subtract the price of the cake from total spent:

28.40-8 = 20.40

Now divide that by the number of i teams bought:

20.40/5 = 4.08

Each ice cream cost $4.08
