Q. A company orders 30 boxed lunches from a deli for $295.50. If each boxed lunch costs the same amount, how much do 9 boxed lunches cost?
Calculate Cost per Lunch: First, we need to find the cost of one boxed lunch by dividing the total cost by the number of boxed lunches.Calculation: $295.50÷30=$9.85 per boxed lunch.
Find Total Cost: Next, we multiply the cost of one boxed lunch by the number of boxed lunches we want to find the cost for, which is 9. Calculation: \$\(9\).\(85\) \times \(9\) = \$\(88\).\(65\).
