Question

Aniyah goes to the store and spends $22. She spends $9 on paper towels and she buys 2 frozen meals that have the same cost.

PART A

Which of the following sequences of steps can be used to find the cost of each frozen meal?

Answer 1

To find the cost of each frozen meal, we can use the following sequence of steps:

1. Start with the total amount spent, which is $22.
2. Subtract the amount spent on paper towels, which is $9.
3. This leaves us with $22 - $9 = $13.
4. Since Aniyah bought 2 frozen meals, we need to divide the remaining amount by 2 to find the cost of each meal.
5. Divide $13 by 2 to get $6.50.
6. Therefore, each frozen meal costs $6.50.
