Alex is taking snack mix to his sleep over party. Can you figure out how much one serving costs?
Here are the details:
Cheese Nips $1.98
HyVee Fruit Rings $1.72
HyVee Rice Cereal $2.18
Teddy Grahams $2.99
Goldfish $2.19
Peanuts $4.48
Pretzels $2.50
Candy Corn $2.58
M&M's $3.77
Skittles $2.67
I used 2 cups of all the ingredents, except for the Rice Cereal and Cheese Nips. (Those each have 4 cups). If a serving size is 1/2 cup how many servings did I make and how much would each cost?
hmm this is confusing!! i have to think about this one 1st!!
ReplyDeletewait.. i almost figured it out.... so its saying there is 2 cups in each box/bag except for the cheez nips and rice cereal which there is 4?? OR is it saying you are using 4 cups of the cheez nips and rice cereal and 2 cups of all the other ingredients?
ReplyDelete*Sigh*
I think i solved it..
ReplyDeleteyou made 4 servings and each serving cost $6.76 Per serving
What do you guys think of Kristen's solution?
ReplyDeleteSorry Kristen, but I think your way off because each serving is 1/2 of a cup and there is 2 cups of 8 of the ingredients and 4 of 2. So just one of the ingredients is equivalent to 4 servings.
ReplyDeleteSo I think the answer is that there is 48 servings and each serving is $ 0.57

OMNOMNOMNOMNOM. i wish i could have those skittles...
ReplyDelete-mark swaney-
Mmmmm me too but Delaney.. Why would she make 48 servings of the mix?? Its for a sleepover and I would'nt think of that many people being there!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know Kristen....she probably didn't mean to.
ReplyDeleteBut, think about it there is 10 ingredients and 8 of them have 2 cups so 2x8=16 and 2 of the ingredients have 4 cups so 4x2=8....8+16=24
Think about it...if there is 24 total cups and 1/2 is a serving that makes there 48 servings. (24x2=48)
