Megan wants to give each guest at her birthday party three mini-
cans of Play-Doh. The cans are sold in bags of nine for $2.86. If there
are thirty-six guests at her party, how much will it cost to give three
mini-cans of Play-Doh to each guest?


Sagot :

36 x 3 = 108 so you need 108 cans of mini play dough. 108 divided by 9 is 12 so you need 12 bags. 12 x 2.86 is 34.32. It will cost $34.32 to buy 108 cans of mini play dough and give 3 to each of your 36 guests

Number of guests to be invited in the birthday party = 36

Megan wants to given 3 cans of Pay-Doh to each guest.

Therefore, number of cans to be given = 3 × 36 = 108

Since, cans are sold in the pack of 9, number of packs required = [tex]\frac{108}{9}[/tex]

                                                                                                           = 12

Since, cost of each pack of cans = $2.86

Therefore, total cost of 12 packs = 12 × 2.86

                                                       = 34.32
