Is this right? thanks, Miss Sue.

$17.40-5 or 6 cents-per week: $.70 - per month: $2.80
==============
$16.87-70 cents-per week: $9.80 - per month: $ 39.20
=============
$27.95-18 cents-per week: $2.52 - per month: $10.08
=============
$16.14-20 cents-per week: $5.60 - per month: $22.40
============
$15.29-10 cents-per week: $1.40- per month: $5.60
============
$22.15-37 cents-per week: $10.36-per month: $41.44

You can round off your daily cost when stating it, but you should carry more accuracy when you then multiply it by 7 or 30

e.g.
#1
cost per pill = 1740/300 cents or 6 cents
cost for 2 pills = 2(5.8) = 11.6 or 12 cents
cost per week = 7(11.6) = 81.2 or 82 cents
cost per month = 30(11.6) = $3.48


last one:
cost per pill = 2215/60 = 36.92 cents
daily cost = 4(36.9166..) = $1.48
weekly cost = 7(147.66...) = $10.34
monthly cost = 30(147.666..) = $44.30

notice that by rounding off your cost per pill in the last question, you were off by about three dollars.

Check the others using my method.

To calculate the cost per pill, you need to divide the total cost of the bottle by the number of pills it contains.

- For the first scenario, the cost per pill is $17.40 divided by 300, which is approximately 5 or 6 cents.
- For the second scenario, the cost per pill is $16.87 divided by 24, which is approximately 70 cents.
- For the third scenario, the cost per pill is $27.95 divided by 150, which is approximately 18 cents.
- For the fourth scenario, the cost per pill is $16.14 divided by 80, which is approximately 20 cents.
- For the fifth scenario, the cost per pill is $15.29 divided by 150, which is approximately 10 cents.
- For the sixth scenario, the cost per pill is $22.15 divided by 60, which is approximately 37 cents.

To calculate the cost per week, you need to multiply the cost per day by the number of pills you take in a week.

- For example, if you take 2 pills a day, the cost per week would be the cost per pill multiplied by 14 (2 pills x 7 days).
- Using the first scenario, the cost per week would be approximately 6 cents x 14, which is 70 cents.

To calculate the cost per month, you need to multiply the cost per day by the number of pills you take in a month.

- If you take 2 pills a day, the cost per month would be the cost per pill multiplied by 60 (2 pills x 30 days).
- Using the first scenario, the cost per month would be approximately 6 cents x 60, which is $2.80.

You can follow the same process to calculate the cost per week and per month for the other scenarios using the respective cost per pill calculations.
