Question

Kamoira bought 8 pizzas for $131.36. Each pizza cost the same amount. What was the cost of each pizza in dollars and cents?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

so, you don't know what a division is for ?

it is to ask things like "how often does one number fit into another number", or "how big will each piece be, if I split something into a certain number of equally sized pieces ?".

this is what we need here.

8 pizzas for $131.36. and each pizza costs the same. you see how that connects to what I just described above ?

to find how much each pizza cost, we need to divide the total price by 8, to find the size (= here the price) of each of the equally big parts of the total price.

131.36 / 8 = $16.42
