Question

Kareem purchased several packs of gum to place in gift baskets for $1.26 each. He spent a total of $8.82. How many packs of gum did he buy?

Answer 1

Answer: 7 packs of gum.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total amount of the purchase is $8.82 and the individual price is $1.26, to find out how many packs Kareem purchased, we need to divide the total amount spent ($8.82) by the amount of each pack ($1.26), so:

8.82 ÷ 1.26 = 7

So, Kareem bought 7 packs of gum.
