Shannon bought 5 pints of frozen yogurt, two packs of chewing gum, and five trays of jumbo shrimp from The Food Place for a total of $55 If the price of a tray of jumbo shrimp is $5 and a pack of chewing gum costs half as much as a pint of frozen yogurt, what is the price of a pint of frozen yogurt? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
5 trays of jumbo shrimp cost 5 x 5 = $25. 5 pints of frozen yogurt and 2 packs of gum in total cost 55 - 25 = $30. 2 packs of gum cost as much 2 / 2 = 1 pint of frozen yogurt. Therefore 5 + 1 = 6 pints of frozen yogurt costs $30. A pint of frozen yogurt costs 30 / 6 = $5.
Therefore, the answer is 5.
