Winnie the Pooh goes to the honey store to buy a case of honey for the winter. The case of 24 jars of honey cost $27.60. What is the cost of each jar?
A) $0.87***
B) $1.00
C) $1.15
D) $62.40
What do I do to figure this out? I divided 24 by $27.60
Just looked up the word illogical lol.. It would be D but how?
It couldn't be D because that more than 27 jars 27.60/24=1.15 24/27.60= 0.86956521739(rounded 0.87) Which one would it be?
If you look at the times our replies were posted you would realize that we were typing at the same time.
So my reply at 1:03 would be to your post at 12:54
where you divided the wrong way.
Finally, yes, 1.15 is the correct choice
nope
B and D are illogical answers, so .....
you divided the wrong way
suppose you had:
4 oranges cost $2.00
how much does 1 orange cost ?
Would you not divide $2.00 by 4 ??
so if 24 jars cost $27.60
wouldn't you divide 27.60 by 24 to get the cost of 1 jar?
