Question

A grocery store sells a bag of 8 oranges for $6.24. If Chase spent $8.58 on oranges,
how many did he buy?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 Bag of Oranges (or) 11 Oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find out how much one orange costs by dividing the cost of a bag of 8 oranges by the number in the bag (8)

$\frac{6.24}{8}$ = $0.78 for each orange

(you can check this by multiplying back by the amount of oranges)

2. Divide the amount Chase spent by the price per orange which we found in step one

$\frac{8.58}{0.78}$ = 11

11 Oranges

I hope this helped! :)
