Question

The city council budgeted $2,784 to buy new garbage cans. If each garbage can costs $96,

how many garbage cans will the city be able to buy?

Answer 1

29 trash cans!

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this, we simply divide the budget by how much each garbage can costs. This will tell us how many times 96 goes into 2,784, and thus, how many they can buy.

$2,784 ÷ $96 = 29!

So, they can buy 29 trash cans with that budget!
