Question

Ms.nichols bought enough sandwiches to feed 28 people.each sándwich serves 2 people.the cost of one sándwich is 4.99.how much did ms.nichols pay for the sándwiches?

Answer 1

Answer: $70 (or $69.86)

Explanation:

We know that she got enough sandwiches for 28 people and we know that each sandwich serves 2 people. This means that we have to divide 28 by 2 (because that gives us the amount of sandwiches she bought). If each sandwich is $4.99 (or rounded to $5), then we can multiply 5 by 14. This gives us 70. So, she payed $70 for the sandwiches.
