Question

During a field trip, 168 students were divided into 14 equal groups. How many students were in each group?
Answer:
Matt bought 6 puzzles for $5.98 each. How much did he spend in all?
Answer:

Answer 1

To find out how many students were in each group, you need to divide the total number of students by the number of groups:

\[
\text{Number of students in each group} = \frac{168 \text{ students}}{14 \text{ groups}} = 12 \text{ students per group}
\]

So, there were 12 students in each group.

For Matt's purchase, to find out how much he spent in total, you multiply the number of puzzles by the cost per puzzle:

\[
\text{Total cost} = 6 \text{ puzzles} \times 5.98 \text{ dollars per puzzle} = 35.88 \text{ dollars}
\]

Thus, Matt spent $35.88 in total.

In summary:
- Students in each group: **12**
- Total spent by Matt: **$35.88**
