Question

William has a lemonade stand today he made $17.55 and lemonade sales and one-third that amount in cookie sales how much money did William make all together How do you work the problem out

Answer 1

Well to find 1/3 of something you have to multiply it by 1/3.

1/3 in decimal form is .33 repeating.

17.55 * .33 = 5.79

17.55 + 5.79 = $23.34

$23.34 is the total profit.
