If it costs an average of $14 each day to feed each of the 1058 zoo animals, what is the annual cost for feeding all the animals?
14 * 1058 * 365 = $__________
Ms.Sue, is my answer correct? $5,406,380?
Yes. You're right.
To find the annual cost for feeding all the animals, we need to multiply the cost per day by the number of days in a year.
To calculate the annual cost:
Step 1: Multiply the cost per day by the number of animals to get the total cost per day for feeding all the animals.
Cost per day for feeding all animals = Cost per day * Number of animals
Step 2: Multiply the total cost per day by the number of days in a year to get the annual cost.
Annual cost for feeding all animals = Cost per day for feeding all animals * Number of days in a year.
Now, let's plug in the values:
Cost per day = $14
Number of animals = 1058
Number of days in a year = Assume 365 (you can also use the correct number for the specific year)
Substituting these values into the equation:
Cost per day for feeding all animals = $14 * 1058
Annual cost for feeding all animals = ($14 * 1058) * 365
Calculating the multiplication:
Cost per day for feeding all animals = $14 * 1058 = $14,812
Annual cost for feeding all animals = $14,812 * 365 = $5,408,980
Therefore, the annual cost for feeding all the 1058 zoo animals would be $5,408,980.
