I think I did well. My solution is very similar to this one. I think that maybe I should of shown how I got the fraction of how much each person receives from the total amount of chocolate.
1) Basics $2.70 per bar 2.70 x 5 = $13.50 spent between 4 people
2) Amount Each Paid Amanda: $8.10 Ben: $2.70 Cole: $1.80 8.10 + 2.70 + 1.80 = $12.60 and 13.50 – 12.60 = $0.90 Therefore David paid: $0.90
2) How Much Chocolate Each Person Gets: Amanda – $8.10 / $2.70 = 3 chocolate bars Ben - $2.70 / $2.70 = 1 chocolate bar Cole - $1.80 / $2.70 = 0.66 or 2/3 of a chocolate bar David - $0.90 / $2.70 = 0.33 or 1/3 of a chocolate bar
Therefore, Amanda should get 3 chocolate bars, Ben should get 1 chocolate bar, Cole should get 2/3 of a chocolate bar, and David should get 1/3 of a chocolate bar. To check: 3 + 1 + 2/3 + 1/3 = 5 chocolate bars
Hi Andra,
ReplyDeleteHow do you think you did?

ReplyDelete1) Basics
ReplyDelete$2.70 per bar
2.70 x 5 = $13.50 spent between 4 people
2) Amount Each Paid
Amanda: $8.10
Ben: $2.70
Cole: $1.80
8.10 + 2.70 + 1.80 = $12.60 and 13.50 – 12.60 = $0.90
Therefore David paid: $0.90
2) How Much Chocolate Each Person Gets:
Amanda – $8.10 / $2.70 = 3 chocolate bars
Ben - $2.70 / $2.70 = 1 chocolate bar
Cole - $1.80 / $2.70 = 0.66 or 2/3 of a chocolate bar
David - $0.90 / $2.70 = 0.33 or 1/3 of a chocolate bar
Therefore, Amanda should get 3 chocolate bars, Ben should get 1 chocolate bar, Cole should get 2/3 of a chocolate bar, and David should get 1/3 of a chocolate bar.
To check: 3 + 1 + 2/3 + 1/3 = 5 chocolate bars
