Question

Donna is sharing her snacks with her friends. She went to the store and spent $4 on chips, $2.75 on cookies, $3.37 on fruit snacks, and $11.55 on drinks. How much did she spend in all? How much change did she have left over from $25? Also, she shared ¼ of her bag of chips between her and her 2 friends. How much of the bag did each friend get?

Answer 1

Donna spent:

$4 + $2.75 + $3.37 + $11.55 = $21.67

To find out how much change she had left from $25, we can subtract her total spent from $25:

$25 - $21.67 = $3.33

Therefore, Donna had $3.33 left over from $25.

If Donna shared 1/4 of her bag of chips with her 2 friends, then they split the remaining 3/4 of the bag. Assuming her bag of chips was a standard size, we can estimate that they each got about 1/4 of the bag:

1/4 of 3/4 is 3/16.

So, each of Donna's friends got approximately 3/16 of the bag of chips.
