Aniyah goes to the store and spends $22. She spends $9 on paper towels and she buys 2 frozen meals that have the same cost.
PART A
Which of the following sequences of steps can be used to find the cost of each frozen meal?
To find the cost of each frozen meal, we can use the following sequence of steps:
1. Start with the total amount spent, which is $22.
2. Subtract the amount spent on paper towels, which is $9.
3. This leaves us with $22 - $9 = $13.
4. Since Aniyah bought 2 frozen meals, we need to divide the remaining amount by 2 to find the cost of each meal.
5. Divide $13 by 2 to get $6.50.
6. Therefore, each frozen meal costs $6.50.
