You are buying meat for a cookout. You need to buy 8 packages costs $5.89. You spend a total of $28.62. How many of each packages did you purchase
+9466 If 8 packages cost $5.89, then one package costs $5.89/8 = $0.73625
The total price equals the number of packages you bought times the price of each package.
$28.62 = number of packages*$0.73625
$28.62/$0.73625 ≈ 38.873 packages
This seems off though because what store charges 73.625 cents for packs of hamburger meat?
74 cents makes the price for 8 packs too high and 73 cents makes the price for 8 packs too low. 73.6 cents works but that still is a fraction of a cent.
On top of that who buys 38.873 packages? Oh well.
