The Chang Toy Factory in China can produce 35 mini toy care each minutes at a cost of 77 cents. then, a package of 35 is put in a cardboard box that holds 350. What does it cost to procuces 285 toy cars?
can you show me how to solve this problem .? do you divide or X it?
devide 77 by 35 to find the cost for producing one the multiply that cost by 285
you wii get
$6.27
All that info and all the problem wants is the cost for 285?
.77 each x 285 = ?
Pat, I read that wrong.
77/35 * 285 = ?
To solve this problem, we first need to determine the cost of producing one toy car.
Given that the Chang Toy Factory can produce 35 toy cars each minute at a cost of 77 cents, we can set up a proportion to find the cost of one toy car.
35 toy cars / 77 cents = 1 toy car / x cents
Next, we need to find the cost of producing 285 toy cars. We can set up another proportion using the cost of one toy car.
1 toy car / x cents = 285 toy cars / y cents
To find y, we can cross-multiply the proportions:
35 * y = 1 * 285 * x
Simplifying, we have:
35y = 285x
Now, we need to determine the number of boxes needed to package the 285 toy cars. Given that one cardboard box can hold 350 toy cars, we can use division to find the number of boxes required.
Number of boxes = 285 toy cars / 350 toy cars per box
Finally, we can compute the total cost by multiplying the cost per toy car by the number of toy cars and adding any additional cost for the required number of boxes.
Total cost = (285 toy cars * cost per toy car) + (number of boxes * cost per box)
Using these steps, you can solve the problem by substituting the given values and performing the necessary calculations.
