Question

A veterinary office pays PupFood $32. 75 for each bag of dog food. If the office spent $655, how many bags of food did they purchase? (Use only a number for your answer)

Answer 1

20 Bags

Explanation

The total costs would be given by the formula:

Total $ = (Bags of Food)*(Cost/bag)

We know total cost and price per bag:

$655 = (Bags of Food)*($32.75/bag)

Bags of Food = ($655/$32.75)

Bags of Food = 20 Bags
