Mitchell’s Shopping Math Challenge
Mitchell needs 3 packs of Pampers to last the month. Each pack has 24 diapers. If Mitchell uses 4 diapers a day now that he’s two and super active, how many diapers will he have left after 30 days?
Each jar of Gerber baby food costs $1.50. Mitchell eats 3 jars a week. How much will it cost to buy enough jars for 4 weeks?
Mitchell loves candy, and I’m buying 4 packs at $3 each. If I decide to get 2 more packs for his birthday party, and the store gives me a 10% discount on the total candy purchase, what’s the final price?
Fruit roll-ups cost $2.50 each. Mitchell eats 2 packs every week. If I buy 8 packs, how many weeks will they last? If Mitchell only needs them for 3 weeks, how many packs should I return and what’s the refund?
Pudding cups are $1 each. Mitchell eats 2 cups a day. If I buy 10 pudding cups, how many days will they last? How many cups will be left after 4 days?
