there were 106 paperbacks books on sale. Benita came up with a good way to sell them. she placed 10 books each in bags and sold each bag for $2. How many bags of books did she make and how many books were left over?
I'll be glad to check your answer.
Can u help me with my math please
To find out how many bags of books Benita made, we need to divide the total number of books by the number of books in each bag.
1. We start with the total number of books available, which is 106.
2. Then, we divide the total number of books by the number of books in each bag, which is 10.
106 ÷ 10 = 10 (with a remainder of 6)
This means that Benita made 10 bags of books, with 6 books left over.
To calculate the total cost of selling each bag for $2, we can multiply the number of bags by the price per bag.
Benita made 10 bags, and each bag was sold for $2, so the total revenue would be:
10 bags × $2/bag = $20.
