Figure it out | Maths

This week I was doing a figure it out for maths about a year eight class that were raising money for their school by selling chocolate dipped strawberries, I have worked it out in this paper.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Figure it out: A fair dip

What do you need to find out first?

You need to find out how many chocolate strawberries you are going to sell and then how many bags of chocolate you need to coat that many strawberries

10 cents for chocolate on ½ dozen strawberries

- $1.25 for ½ dozen strawberries

- 10 cents for origami box for strawberries

- Total: $1.45 for all the ingredients for one box

- The year eight class will be making a profit of 55 c per box.

They will need to sell around 125 boxes if they want to raise $250 for their school.
