Question

An animal reserve is home to 8 meerkats. It costs the reserve $1.50 per day to feed each meerkat. Write an equation with two variables that can be used to determine the total cost of feeding the reserve's meerkats for any number of days.​

Answer 1

Answer: Okay, so it's $8 per day to feed all of them. So one way you could answer it could be to say; "It costs $8 per day to feed all of the meerkats,..." then pick a number of days to multiply $8 by.

I hope this helps some!
