Question

luis spent 8.75 on snacks at a basketball game. candy costs 1.25$ per package and chips cost .50$. Luis bought 10 snacks how many of each snack did he buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

Luis bought 5 packages of candy and 5 bags of chips

Step-by-step explanation:

1.25 for candy

0.50 for chips

1.25c + 0.50c = 8.75

First I tried to see how many times I could multiply 1.25, the answer that made the most sense was 5 because not only is 5 + 5 = 10, but when it equals the amount of money. So I changed my equation:

1.25(5) + 0.5(5)

6.25 + 2.5 = 8.75
