Each package of dog treats has 15 treats.

The equation d = 15t, where d represents the total number of dog treats and t represents number of packages, shows this relationship.

If Esther bought 60 dog treats total, how many packages did she buy?

1 answer

To find the number of packages Esther bought, we need to solve the equation d = 15t for t.

Given that d = 60, we have:
60 = 15t

Dividing both sides of the equation by 15:
60/15 = 15t/15
4 = t

Esther bought 4 packages of dog treats. Answer: \boxed{4}.
