Q. The Green Valley Zoo has a new colony of 1717 Egyptian fruit bats. It costs the zoo $0.86\$0.86 per day to feed each bat a variety of soft fruits. How much does the zoo spend to feed the bat colony each day?\newline$\$____
  1. Identify Cost and Number: Identify the cost to feed one bat per day and the number of bats.\newlineCost per bat per day = $0.86\$0.86, Number of bats = 1717.\newlineCalculate the total daily cost for all bats.\newlineTotal daily cost = Cost per bat per day ×\times Number of bats\newlineTotal daily cost = $0.86×17\$0.86 \times 17
  2. Calculate Total Daily Cost: Perform the multiplication to find the total cost.$0.86×17=$14.62\$0.86 \times 17 = \$14.62
