Question

Alicia has 48 dollars in her pocket. She wants to buy meals for 5 friends. If each meal costs 10 dollars, will Darlene be able to keep all her friends happy? (1 point) Responses Yes, because she will have enough money to buy meals for all of her friends. Yes, because she will have enough money to buy meals for all of her friends. No, because she will not have enough money to buy meals for all of her friends.

Answer 1

To determine if Alicia can buy meals for her 5 friends, we first need to calculate the total cost of the meals.

If each meal costs $10 and she has 5 friends, the total cost would be:

• Total cost = Number of friends × Cost per meal = 5 × $10 = $50

Alicia has $48. Since $48 is less than $50, she does not have enough money to buy meals for all her friends.

Therefore, the correct response is: No, because she will not have enough money to buy meals for all of her friends.
