Question

Ella bought some key chains and spent a total of $15. Each key chain cost the same whole-dollar amount. She bought between 4 and 9 key chains. How many key chains did Ella buy? Ella bought key chains

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

Total amount spent = $15

Number of chain purchased is between 4 and 9

Cost per chain is a the same (whole dollar)

Number of Chain purchased = (total cost / cost per chain)

Since the total cost = $15

The only whole number value which can divide $15 without a remainder and give a value between between 4 and 9 is 3.

Therefore, cost per chain = $3

Hence, number of chain purchased = $15 / $3

= 5
