Question

Enzo has $20.79 to spend on fruit. If each kiwi costs $0.99, how many kiwis, , can they purchase?

Answer 1

Answer:

21

Enzo can only buy 21 kiwis from the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to divide

But since it's going too be hard for me to show you the long division, I'm just going to use a multiplication trick!

Let's find what is 20x0.99 first, because I feel like this CAN be the answer.

20x0.99=19.8

So this is not the answer

Now, let's try 22x0.99

22x0.99=21.78

So this is also not the answer.

Now, let's try 21, I think only this one can be the answer.

21x0.99=20.79

So hence, 21 is the right answer. Enzo can buy 21 Kiwis

Thanks!

Answer 2

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Enzo has $20.79 to spend on fruit.

Each Kiwis cost $0.99

Note;

20.79 ÷ 0.99 = k

or

20.79 ÷ 0.99 = Solution

Solve;

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numerator\:and\:denominator\:by:}\:100$

$\frac{2079}{99}$

$\mathrm{Write\:the\:problem\:in\:long\:division\:format}$

$\begin{matrix}99\overline{|\smallspace2079}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\end{matrix}$

$Divide\;207\;by\;99\;to\;get\;2$

$\begin{matrix}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\emptyspace2\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\\ 99\overline{|\smallspace2079}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\\ \:\:\:\:\:\:\underline{\emptyspace1\emptyspace9\emptyspace8}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\\ \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\emptyspace9\emptyspace9\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\end{matrix}$

$Divide\;99\;by\;99\;to\;get\;1$

$\begin{matrix}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\emptyspace2\emptyspace1\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\\ 99\overline{|\smallspace2079}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\\ \:\:\:\:\:\:\underline{\emptyspace1\emptyspace9\emptyspace8}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\\ \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\emptyspace9\emptyspace9\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\\ \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\underline{\emptyspace9\emptyspace9}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\\ \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\emptyspace0\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\end{matrix}$
