Statement Problem: Mr. Bensoua buys 3 bags of Flaming Hot Cheetos for every 4 bags of Takis. He buys a total of 14 bags of chips. If the Flamin Hot Cheetos cost $2 per bag and the Takis cost $2.50 per bag, how much did Mr. Bensoua spend on all of the chips?
Solution:
When Mr. Bensoua buys 4 bags of Takis, he buys 3 bags of Flaming Hot Cheetos.
When he buys another 4 bags of Takis, he buys 3 bags of Flaming Hot Cheetos.
At the end, he buys 8 bags of Takis and 6 bags of Flaming Hot Cheetos and that makes it a total of 14 bags of chips.
The cost of Takis per bag is $2.50, the cost of 8 bags of Takis is;
[tex]\text{2}.50\times8=20[/tex]
The cost of Flaming Hot Cheetos per bag is $2., the cost of 6 bags of Takis is;
[tex]2\times6=12[/tex]
Hence, the total amount Mr. Bensoua spends is;
[tex]20+12=32[/tex]
CORRECT ANSWER: $32
