How many boxes of raisins can you buy for $8.55

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Depends on how much a box of raisins cost.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 boxes cost .95

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

First divide .95/2.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

You get .475.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

You then divide 8.55/.475.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

You get 18.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got it! Thanks!

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

You can get 18 boxes of raisins for $8.55.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One box cost .48. Now divide 8.55 by .48 to get 17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, thanks.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Don't round or else you will have one box short.
