Question

Sandra bought 24 fishtsicks for $50.40. If Sandra spent $10.50, how many fishsticks did she buy

Answer 1

To find out how many fishsticks Sandra bought for $10.50, we first need to determine the cost of one fishstick.

Sandra bought 24 fishsticks for $50.40. So, the cost of one fishstick can be calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Cost per fishstick} = \frac{50.40}{24} = 2.10
\]

Now that we know each fishstick costs $2.10, we can find out how many fishsticks Sandra can buy for $10.50 by dividing $10.50 by the cost per fishstick:

\[
\text{Number of fishsticks} = \frac{10.50}{2.10} = 5
\]

Therefore, Sandra bought **5 fishsticks** for $10.50.
