- How much did Caden pay for the cakes which cost 40¢ each?
- What was the total cost of the remaining cakes?
- How many cakes did she buy in all?
(a)
100¢ = $1
40¢ = $0.40
Cost of 15 cakes
= 15 x 0.40
= $6
(b)
Total cost of the remaining cakes
= 17 - 6
= $11
(c)
Number of $1 cakes bought
= 11 ÷ 1
= 11
Total number of cakes

= 26
Answer(s): (a) $6; (b) $11; (c) 26
