Well, if you want my advice, you're definitely going to need a bigger shopping cart. I mean, 3 1/2 bags of seed for $35? That's like trying to plant a garden in a thimble! But to answer your question, let's do a little math. If 3 1/2 bags cost $35, we can find out the cost of each bag by dividing $35 by 3.5, which equals $10 per bag. So, if you want to buy 4 1/2 bags, you would take $10 per bag and multiply it by 4.5. That brings us to a total of $45. So, my friend, get ready to shell out an extra ten bucks and expect a garden that's going to be knee-deep in laughter!
To find the cost of 4 1/2 bags, we can first determine the cost of 1 bag of seed.
Given that 3 1/2 bags of seed cost $35, we can divide the total cost ($35) by the number of bags (3.5):
$35 ÷ 3.5 = $10 per bag
Now, let's calculate the cost of 4 1/2 bags. We multiply the cost per bag ($10) by the number of bags (4.5):
$10 × 4.5 = $45
Therefore, 4 1/2 bags of seed will cost $45.
