Question

A restaurant ordered 1,000 bottles of water and paid $\$$1,500. What is the price of a bottle of water?

• A. 150 dollars
• B. 15.00 dollars
• C. 1.50 dollars
• D. 0.15 dollars

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1.50 dollars

Cost of 1,000 water bottles = 1,500 dollars

Cost of 1 water bottle = 1500 $÷$ 1000

To divide a number by 1000, we have to move the decimal point three places to the left.

$⟹$ 1500 $÷$ 1000 = 1.50 dollars

Hence, the price of a bottle of water = 1.50 dollars
