Question

amelia needs to buy some cat food at the nearest store 2 bags of cat food is 6.50. How much would it be if amelia bought 3 bags?

Answer 1

$9.75

Explanation:

We have all we need to solve for Bag #3.

2 bags equal $6.50.

We want 3 bags, not 4. So we need to divide the original cost by 1/2.

$6.50 divided by 1/2 is $3.25

Now we add an additional $3.25 to the original $6.50
