Question

Marco needs to buy some cat food. At the nearest​ store, 5 bags of cat food cost ​$18.75. How much would Marco spend on 3 bags of cat ​food?

Answer 1

$11.25

Explanation:

5 bags = $18.75

To find the amount for three bags, we need to find the price for each bag.

Divide 18.75 by 5.

18.75/5 = 3.75

So each bag is 3.75, and since we need to know the price for 3 bags, we need to multiply 3.75 by 3, which is 11.25.
