Question

Coweta Nutrition sells shakes for $3.39 each. They also sell tea for $2.50. If Mrs.

Morgan bought 1 tea and spent $19.45 this week, not including tax, how many
shakes did she buy?*

Answer 1

She bought 5 snakes

Answer 2

she bought 5 shakes

Explanation:

shakes: $3.39

tea: $2.50

2.50 + 3.39s = 19.45

3.39s = 16.95

s = 16.95 ÷ 3.39

s = 5

Check:

2.50 + 3.39(5) = 19.45

or

2.50 + 3.39 + 3.39 + 3.39 + 3.39 + 3.39 = 19.45
