He actually needs to make $11.67 PROFIT on each bag.  

So he will need to sell them for the Cost Price + $11.67

Well, if he is only selling snacks to raise money for the trip, 210 ÷ 18 will tell is how much David much sell each snack bag for for him to meet his goal.

210 ÷ 18 = 11.66666666666666

Rounded up, we get 

$11.67

 

That's how much he has to sell each bag of snacks for. He will have a few cents left over, but that's only because we have a repeating decimal.
