containers of sides are on sale. You can get 2 containers for $3.00 and 1 for $1.95. Determine the cost of three containers of sides.
3.00 plus 1.95
To determine the cost of three containers of sides, we need to calculate the total cost of buying three containers individually.
First, let's determine the cost of buying two containers for $3.00. If two containers cost $3.00, we divide $3.00 by 2 to find the cost of one container.
$3.00 ÷ 2 = $1.50
So, the cost of one container is $1.50.
Next, let's find the cost of buying one container for $1.95.
The cost of one container is already provided, so we don't need to do any further calculations.
Now we can add up the costs of three containers. Since we have two containers at $1.50 each and one container at $1.95, we can sum them up to get the total cost.
$1.50 + $1.50 + $1.95 = $4.95
Therefore, the cost of three containers of sides is $4.95.
