Question

Steve runs a kennel and purchases dog food from a U.S supplier. The supplier sells 25 lb bags for $28.95 U.S

Each dog eats about 3.5kg/week and Steve boards an average of 16 dogs per day. How many bags of dog food will he need for 3 months?

The answer is 64 bags but I keep getting 59 help!

Answer 1

you might show your work, so we could check your method.

each dogs eats 3.5/7 = 0.5 kg/day
16 dogs eat 8 kg/day
That's 720 kg for 90 days
Or, 1584 lbs.
That's 63.36 bags

I guess it depends on how many days you use for 3 months. 91 days gives 64.06 bags
