Question

A bag of potato chips costs $6.99 and comes with 87 chips. If you could buy them individually, how

many chips could you get if you had $10? Round to a whole number.

Answer 1

125 chips

Explanation:

It is given that, a bag of potato chips costs $6.99 and comes with 87 chips. The cost of 87 chips is $6.99.

⇒ In $1, we can buy
`(87)/(6.99)` chips

We need to find the no of chips if you has $10.

In $10, no of chips are
`(87)/(6.99)* 10=124.46`

Rounding to a whole no,

n = 125

Hence, 125 chips can be brought if you has $10.
