You're thinking wrong.
30 / 12 = ?
I don't really know but you do have to divide and round the answer.
To find the price of each bag of popcorn, we need to subtract the amount of money Betty was left with ($10) from the initial amount of money she had ($40). Therefore, the total amount Betty spent on the bags of popcorn is $40 - $10 = $30.
Next, we need to divide the total amount Betty spent ($30) by the number of bags she bought (12) to find the cost of each bag.
$30 ÷ 12 = $2.50
Therefore, the price of each bag of popcorn is $2.50. So the correct answer is 2.50.
