Question

4) If two cartons of soda cost $4.98, how much would 5 cartons of seda cost?

Answer 1

Answer: $12.45
Explanation: Two cartons cost $4.98, divide 4.98 by two to find the price of one carton of soda, 4.98 divided by 2 = $2.49. Multiply by 5 to find the cost of five cartons of soda. $2.49•5=$12.45

Answer 2

If you divide 4.98 by 2 you get 2.49. This is the cost for 1 carton. Since it’s asking for 5 cartons , you multiply the cost of one (2.98) by 5. Then you get 12.45. But you need to put it in dollars so that’s $12.45.
