Question

Alyssa had 45$ to spend on 6 snacks.after buying them she had 12$ left how much did each snack cost?

Answer 1

Each snack cost $5.50

You start with $45, and afterwards end up with $12, so subtract 12 from 45 and you end up with 33. Then divide 33 by 6, since she bought 6 snacks, and you get $5.50.

Answer 2

Divide $45 with $12, you get $3.75

To check your answer, $12 x $3.75 = $45

Each snack costs $3.75
