Question

An item sells for 2 for 66 cents. What would 5 items sell for?

Answer 1

66/2 = 33
33 x 5 = 165 cents
165 cents = $1.65

Answer 2

5 items sells for 165 cents

Explanation:

An item sells for 2 for 66 cents

2 items cost 66 cents

1 item cost 66 divide by 2 is 33 cents

So 1 item cost 33 cents

WE need to find the cost of 5 items

1 item cost 33 cents

so 5 item costs
`5 \cdot 33= 165`

The cost of 5 items = 165 cents
