Joe bought a box of laundry detergent that contains 195 scoops. Each load of laundry uses 2 1/2 scoops. How many loads of laundry can he do with this one box?

a)   Number of laundry he can do with this box  = 78 laundries.

b)   Price he paying for each load =  0.256 $

Explanation:

Total scoop contained in detergent box = 195 scoops.

Scoops used by each load of laundry =  scoops = 2.5 scoops

Number of laundry he can do with this box = 195/2.5 = 78 laundries.

Price of detergent box = 19.99 $

Price he paying for each load = Total price/ Number of loads

                                                  = 19.99/78

                                                  = 0.256 $
