FOR EVERY TWO M & M PACKS YOU BUY YOU GET TWO FREE
IF ONE M & M PACK COSTS 79 CENTS HOW MANY CAN YOU BUY FOR 6.00 DOLLARS
6.00 DIVIDED BY .79? ANS 6?
OR 3?
if you buy 2, you get two free: cost: 1.58 for four.
If you buy 4, you get 4 free: cost3.16 for 8
if you buy 6, you get six free: cost 4.74
so I guess you get 12 for 4.74

P ME ABOUT MY HOMEWORK
To determine how many M&M packs you can buy for $6.00, you need to divide $6.00 by the cost of one M&M pack, which is $0.79.
So, the calculation is:
$6.00 ÷ $0.79 = 7.5949
However, since you are buying in packs of two and getting two packs free, you need to adjust the calculation.
Divide $6.00 by $0.79 to get the number of packs you can buy:
7.5949 packs
Then, divide the result by 2 because for every two packs, you get two packs free:
7.5949 ÷ 2 = 3.79745
Since you can't purchase fractional packs, you can buy a maximum of 3 packs of M&Ms for $6.00.
