Question

Sara has two puppies, Sonny & Cher. Every month she purchases enough food to feed her puppies for the month. Sonny eats 8.25 cans of food per week. Cher eats 15 1/2 cans of food per week. Sara purchases a 40 can variety pack of Cute Puppy food that costs $21.
5. Analyze whether Sara can predict the amount of Cute Puppy food needed for the

year by multiplying the cost of the first month by 12 months. Explain your assessment.

Answer 1

The amount of Cute Puppy food needed for the  year is 1140 cans.

Determining the total number of cans that the dogs eat in a year

The first step in determining the total number of cans needed in year is to calculate the sum of dog food consumed in a week.

8.25 + 15.5 = 23.75 cans

The second step is to determine the total cans the dogs consume in a month

23.75 x 4 = 95

The third second step is to determine the total cans the dogs consume in a year:

95 x 12 = 1140 cans

Cost of cute puppy food needed in a year

1140 x ($21 /40) = $598.50
