Question 249881: Jake buys four pots and gets 1 pot for free. After 4 weeks Jake has a total of 50 pots. How many pots did he get for free? Found 2 solutions by solver91311, rfer:Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Every time he makes a purchase, he pays for 4 and gets 1 free, so he adds 5 to his collection every time he makes a purchase. Since he has 50, he must have made 50 divided by 5 equals 10 purchases. He gets a free pot every purchase, so 10 freebies.
