Question

Muffins are sold in packages of 18 and cost $27 per package. Each of 6 friends gets an equal share of muffins from p packages of muffins. Write an expression to represent how much each friend must pay.

Answer 1

27/18= 1.5

18/6 = 3

3•1.5= 4.5

Explanation:

$27 divided by 18 muffins equals $1.50, 18 muffins divided by 6 people equals 3, 3 muffins times $1.50 equals $4.50. So $4.50 is how much each person would have to pay.
