Given the statement:
Daniel spent $40 on eating utensils. Spoons cost $5 and forks cost $6.
Determine how many of each kind did he buy, if he bought a total of 7.
Solution:
In order to determine how many of each kind did he buy, if he bought a total of 7, we simply need to use logical analysis.
5 pieces of fork cost
= ($6)(5)
= $30
2 pieces of Spoon cost
= ($5)(2)
= $10
= $30 + $10
= $40
Final answer:
5 pieces of fork and 2 pieces of spoon.
