A store buys 77 1/2 pounds of mulch in a large shipment. They divide the mulch up into bags that can each hold 2 1/4 pounds. The store sells one bag of mulch for $2.25. for each part of the question, show your work.

a. How many full bags of mulch will the store make?
b. Considering only the full bags, what is the total sales price of all the bags of mulch?

First you divide the total mulch (77 1/2) by the amount per bag (2 1/4). This will tell you how many bags of mulch you have.

The answer is 34.4444444 which is 34 full bags of mulch.

Now if one bag is $2.25, then what is 34 bags?
$2.25 multiplied by 34 is $76.5

Hope this helps your understanding
