Monica and Michelle are combining their money to throw a party. Monica brings $15. Michelle brings $12. The cake costs 15 dollars, and soda is $3 a bottle. Each bottle of soda has 12 servings and they buy as many bottles of soda as they can afford. If there are 8 total guests, how many servings of soda does each get? Give me reasons, before answering the question
They have $27 for the party because 15 + 12 = 27. They have $12 for soda because 27 - 15 = 12. They can buy 4 bottles of soda because 12 / 3 = 4. They have 48 servings of soda because 4 x 12 = 48. Each guest gets 6 servings because 48 / 8 = 6. So the final answer is 6.
