Question

The cafeteria uses many cases of tuna that each have 24 cans. Each week, they take at least 12 of the cans to feed the cats in the alley behinde the zoo. How much does it cost, minimum, to feed the cats for another year (52 weeks) if 1 can costs $0.60

Answer 1

In this question, we're trying to find the cost of feeding the cats for a year.

We know that we use 12 cans to feed the cats

We also know that each can costs $0.60

To find how much the cafeteria spent on the cats, we need to see how much 12 cans cost, and multiply that by 52 to get our yearly cost

Solve:

12 · 0.60 = 7.2

12 cans = $7.20

Now multiply 7.20 by 52 to get our minimum yearly cost for the cats.

52 · 7.20 = 374.4

This means that it costs $374.4 to feed the cats for a year.

Answer

$374.40
