Question

Bob eats lunch regularly at his school cafeteria. He pays $2.50 for every school lunch he purchases. During the most recent six-week period, Bob ate lunch on Mondays through Thursdays (he doesn’t like the pizza they serve on Friday), apart from one Monday that was a holiday and one Wednesday where he had a dentist’s appointment. How much did money did Bob spend on school lunches during this six-week period?

Answer 1

6(5) = 30

minus a day from each week, making it 24. then minus two more days for the holiday and the appointment. 22 days.

22(2.50) = 55

bob spent $55
