Question

You get five packages of paper for $3.00. How much are you paying per package? Give your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

So if you get 5 packages for 3 dollars....for 1 you pay ...x

\[\frac{ 5 }{ 3 } = \frac{ 1 }{ x }\]

cross multiply

5x = 3

and divide both sides by 5

x = 3/5

what is 3/5 in decimal form?

.60...so 60 cents per package

Hope that helps?

Answer 2

yup thanks
