Question

Virenas Scout troop is trying to raise at least $650 this spring. How many boxes of cookies must they sell at $4.50 per box in order to reach their goal?

Answer 1

Answer:

145

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of boxes to reach the goal, divide the goal amount by the box amount:

$650 \div 4.50 \approx144.444444$

Since you can't sell .444444 of a box, you must sell 145 boxes.
