Question

One week Carlos bought 2 packages of dog bones and 4 packages of cat treats for $18.50. Because the finicky cats didn’t like the cat treats, the next week Carlos returned 3 unopened packages of cat treats and bought 2 more packages of dog bones. After being refunded for the cat treats, Carlos only had to pay $1.00 for his purchase. Based on this information, figure out the price of each item. Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

1 package of dog bones = 4.875

1 package of cat treats = 2.1875

Step-by-step explanation:

you add the $1 to the 18.50 = 19.50 these are the amount of money for 4 bags of dog food. you take away all the dog food(4) from it = 8.75 divide by 4 for the 4 bags of cat food= 2.1875

sorry I'm very bad at explaining you can put it in your own words
