Question

Amy bought some board games for $\$8$ each. If she spent a total of $\$48,$ how many games did she buy?

• A. $40$
• B. $12$
• C. $6$
• D. $144$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $6$

Price of one board game $=\$8$
Total amount spent on board games $=\$48$

To calculate the number of board games bought by Amy, we can write the equation as $?\times 8=\$48$
Or
$48÷8=?$
We need to find how many groups of $8$ make $48.$

Number of board games $=48÷8=6$
