Question

A costume designer is preparing costumes for 22 dancers. She pays $373.78 for all of the materials. She also buys gloves, that are on sale, for all the dancers. Each pair of gloves costs $4.30. How much is the costume designer’s expense for each dancer?

Answer 1

Costume expense = $373.78
Gloves expense = 22*$4.30 = $94.60
Total expense for all dancers is $373.78 + $94.60 = $468.38

Expense for each dancer is $468.38/22 =$21.29
