Question

Allie sold oatmeal cookies at a stand for two days. She made 35.20 on the first day. She used 1/4 of this money to buy more supplies for the next day. How much money did Allie use to buy more supplies for the next day

Answer 1

Multiply the money earned on the first day ($35.20) by 1/4.

= 35.20 * 1/4
multiply numerators

= (35.20 * 1)/4

=35.20/4
divide

= $8.80


ANSWER: $8.80 was used to buy more supplies
