The day of the 52-mile double marathon is finally here! Pepe has set the ambitious goal of averaging an 8-minute mile. Pepe fini
shed the first half of the marathon in 195 minutes. What is the maximum number of minutes he can take to finish the second half of the race in order to achieve his goal?
Answer: $4.20 for 7 This problem can be solved by dividing the pay by the number of items. $6.30 / 9 = $0.70 $5.50 / 5 = $1.10 $4.20 / 7 = $0.60 $0.80 / 1 = $0.80
This shows that for the third option, $4.20 for 7, the rate per item is the lowest.
