Question

Carol has two cats, Rover and Bobo. Rover eats 3/4 of a can of cat food each day and Bobo eats 1/2 of a can of cat food each day. Cat food costs $5.00 for three cans. It is only sold in 3 can packs.

How much does it cost Carol for a 60-day supply of cat food for her two cats?

Answer 1

Rover eats cat food = 0.75 can

Bono eats cat food = 0.5 can

Consumption for both cats =

0.75+0.5 = 1.25

For 60 days both cats consume =

Number of cans in 60 days =

1.25×60=75 cans

Now Cans are sold in a pack of 3.

Number of can packs required for 60 days = 75/3 =25 can packs

Now Cost for each Can packs(3 can) = $5.00

Price for 25 can packs (75 cans) = 5×25= $125.
