Question

Joe bought a box of laundry detergent that contains 195 scoops.

Answer 1

Answer:

78 laundries

$0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

If the box contains 195 scoops and at once he uses 2 1/2 you have to divide 195 by 2 1/2 and you get 78.

How much is he paying for each load? you have to find the unit rate. The box costs $19.99 he can do 78 laundries at once so you divide the money by the quantity or in other words $19.99 by 78 and get 0.2562820512820513, since we are talking about money we use only the firs two decimals, so he pays $0.25 per load of laundry.
