Question

Faith went to the grocery store to buy apples. If each apple cost $0.78, and she spent a total of $4.68, how many apples did Faith buy?

Answer 1

She paid a total of 4.68 for all the apples, each apple costed .78
So do 4.68÷.78 and your answer is 6
She purchased 6 apples

Answer 2

Faith would have bought 6 apples.

Divide the total of $4.68 by the cost of each apple, $0.78.

4.68÷0.78=6

You can check to see if this is true by reversing the problem and multiplying 0.78 by 6.

0.78×6=4.68
