It costs $7.50 to enter a petting zoo. Each cup of food to feed the animals is $2.50. If you have $12.50, how many cups can you buy?

Wonder how the bot got its wrong answer ???

the right way:

let number of cups be c
2.50c + 7.50 = 12.50
2.5c = 5.00
c = 5/2.5 = 2

so 2 cups

You can buy 4 cups of food.
