Question

Sherman has 3 cats and 2 dogs. he wants to buy a toy for each of his pets. Sherman has 22$ to spend on pet toys. How much can he spend on each pet? Write your answer as a fraction and as an amount in dollars and cents

Answer 1

Sherman wants to spend on each pet, so we are assuming he wants to spend the same amount. He has 5 pets in all (3 cats, 2 dogs)

Divide 22 with 5

22/5 = 4.4

He can spend $4.40, or in fraction form:

4 4/10 (Mixed fraction)
