On Saturday, Kim's softball team will be having a family picnic. Hamburger patties

are sold at the local store with 12 patties in a package. Hamburger buns, however,
are only sold in packages of 9 hamburger buns. Kim's team wants to buy the exact
same number of packages for patties and buns
What is the least number of packages of patties and hamburger buns that Kim's
team should buy to have exactly the same number of patties as hamburger buns? If a
package of hamburger patties cost $4.98 and a package of hamburger buns cost
$2.16, what was the total expense?

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

The patties (3 packs)

12x3= 36

The buns (4 packs)

9x4= 36

cost:

3x$4.98= $14.94

4x$2.16= $8.64

Add them to equal the total cost

= $ 23.58
