Question

L.B. Johnson Middle School held a track and field event during the school year. The chess club sold various drink and snack items for the participants and the audience. Altogether, they sold 486 items that totaled $2673. If the chess club sold each item at the same price, calculate the price of each item. Do not include units ($) in your answer.

Answer 1

Price of each item = 5.50

Explanation:

Total items sold = 486

Total price of items sold = $2,673

If the chess club sold each item at the same price,

Price of each item = Total price of items sold / Total items sold

= $2,673 / 486

= $5.50

Price of each item = $5.50

Excluding the units ($) in the answer

Price of each item = 5.50
