Question

Jason has a job selling snow cones on the beach. He earns $15 a day plus $0.75 for each snow cone he sells. How many snow cones does Jason need to sell to earn a total of $45 for working one day?

Answer 1

40 snow cones. subtract 15 from 45 to find the difference you need to make. divide 30 by 0.75 and get 40. check your work by multiplying 0.75 by 40 and get 30 and add 15 and get $45 dollars.
