Question

Mason is going to have a lemonade stand. His Aunt buys him 10 lbs. of Lemons. if he sells each cup for a quarter,how many cups does he need to sell to pay her back?

The Price of 1 lb. of Lemons is $0.89.

I have already did 0.89 x 10 which gives me 8.90.

Please Help

Answer 1

8.90 divided by 0.25= 35.6 (round up to 36 because you cant sell .6 cups of lemonade)

he would have to sell 36 cups of lemonade to pay his aunt back

after he sells 36 cups and pays his aunt back the $8.90 he will have $0.10 left to keep for himself

Answer 2

Okay, so first we do:

10 lbs × $0.89 = 8.90 (Which you did already)

Then we see how many cups he needs to sell, in order to get to $8.90.

.25 × 36 = $9

So that would be the approximate answer. 

The exact answer would be .25 × 35.6 = $8.9 or $8.90

Hope that helps!
