You are buying food for a party. You need to get chips and pizza. A bag of chips are on sale for $1.89 and frozen pizzas are $5.19. You spend $31.62 at the grocery store. How much of each item did you buy? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are buying food for a party. You need to get chips and pizza. A bag of chips are on sale for $1.89 and frozen pizzas are $5.19. You spend $31.62 at the grocery store. How much of each item did you buy?
-----
You would have to guess the total number of items (chips and pizzas) you bought.
----
Quantity:: c + p = ?
Value:: 189c + 519p = 3162 cents
--------------------
Since ? must be a whole number, there are a limited number of
realistic values for ?
----
One such is 8.
There are then 5 pizzas and 3 chips.
