Question

if the purchase of 60 caps costs $ 420 how many caps can be purchased in $ 1106​

Answer 1

Given:

Cost of 60 caps=$420

To find:

Number of caps purchased in $1106

Solution:

The required number of caps is 158.

We will calculate the cost of a single cap using the unitary method and then obtain the required number.

So, 60 caps' cost=$420

The cost of one cap=1×420/60

=$7

Now, we will divide the total amount spent on buying the caps by the cost of each cap.

The required number=Amount spent on caps/cost per cap

Using the values,
=1106/7

=158 caps

Therefore, the required number of caps is 158.
