Question

5. The Math Club is selling gift wrap for a fundraiser. They sold all 45 rolls of solid wrapping paper at $4 each and rolls of patterned wrapping paper at $5 each. If they made $265, how many rolls of patterned wrapping paper did they sell?

Answer 1

They sold 53 rolls of patterned wrapping paper.

$265 divided by 5 = 53

Answer 2

265(TOTAL amount of money made) - 45x4 (SOLID gift wrap) / 5 (To find the amount of PATTERNED gift wrap sold)

265 - 45x4 is used to find the amount made by patterned rolls of gift wrap
