Question

It cost 3 times more to feed a cat per week than than it does a rabbit per week and half as much to feed a hamster per week than it to feed a rabbit per week. If it cost $2.00 to feed a hamster per week, how much does it cost to feed a cat for 3 weeks

A. $9.00

B. $48.00

C. $36.00

D. $84.00

E. $25.00

F. $12.00

Answer 1

The answer is C, or $36.00. Why? Well, if it costs $2.00 to feed a hamster per week, that means it costs $4.00 to feed a rabbit per week. Since a rabbit’s food costs $4.00 per week, that would mean it costs $12.00 to feed a cat per week. Because 12 x 3 = 36, it costs a total of $36.00 to feed a cat for 3 weeks.

Your final answer: C, or $36.00.
