Lizzy has to ship 540 pounds of fish that are packed into 30-pound crates. If the shipping cost of each crate is $1.5, how much will Lizzy pay for the shipment?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
There are 540 pounds / 30 pounds / crate = 18 crates of fish needed. Hence, the total cost for the shipment is $1.5 / crate x 18 crates = $27.
Thus, the answer is 27.
