Please Someone Help me!!

a craft store bought 27 1/4 ounces of potpourri. The shop divides the potpourri into 2 1/2 bags and sells each bag for $4.25.

A. How many Full 2 1/2 ounce bags of potpourri can the shop make( Show your Work)

B. If All the bags are sold, how much money will the shop bring in(Show your Work)

Answer 1

(27 1/4) / (2 1/2) = 
(109/4) / (5/2) = 
109/4 * 2/5 = 
218/20 =
10.9....so there is 10 full 2 1/2 oz bags

each bag sells for 4.25.....so 10 bags would sell for 4.25(10) = 42.50
