Use on of the equations:Bag Price ÷ Pounds in Bag = Cost/pound
Cost/pound x Pounds fed = Cost/day
Cost/day x # of Horses = Cost/head/day
Cost/head/day x # of days in month = Cost/head/month


1. You have 5 horses and you feed 4.5 pounds of grain to each in one day. What is the monthly cost per head to feed them if the grain you feed is $27.00 per 50lb bag?

2. You have 32 heads of horses, and each gets 1.5 pounds of grain per feeding. You feed grain twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. If you feed grain that costs $13 per 50lb bag, then is the cost per head per month?

3. You have 12 heads of horses, and each gets 2.5 pounds of grain per feeding. You feed grain twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. If you feed grain that costs $13 per 50lb bag, then is the cost per head per month?
