Question

Betty had $40 in her pocket. She bought 12 identical bags of popcorn.

Answer 1

Hi Mrviral1k,

To solve your problem, you will need to divide and multiply.

So, if we take 40 by 10...

• $40-$10=$30

So now we need to take 30 by 12...

• 30/12 = 2.5

So, each bag was $2.50.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Each bag of popcorn cost $2.50

$40-$10=30

$30/12=2.5
