Question

If 8 boxes of cereal cost $27.60, what is the price of one box?

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "x" repreesnt the cost of one box. If 8 = 27.60, 1 = "x". Set up a fraction, then solve;

$\frac{8}{27.6}=\frac{1}{x}$

Step 1: Divide 27.6 by 8

$27.60 \div 8 = 3.45$

Step 2: Multiply the result by 1

$3.45 \times 1 = 3.45$

That means 1 cereal box costs 3.45 dollars.
