A. New Puppy! You adopt a new puppy from the shelter. He is 8 pounds and growing fast! The vet predicts he will be 75 pounds when fully grown. You chose a good food for him which recommends feeding 1 cup twice per day for every 30 pounds of weight. The food comes in 40 pound bags, with 4 cups of food per every pound. A 40 lb bag costs $37.50
- At 8 pounds, how many cups of food should you feed your puppy per day?
- Assuming he stays at 8 pounds, how long would it take him to eat a full bag of food?
- When he is full grown, how many cups of food will you feed him per day?
- When he is fully grown, how much will it cost you to feed him for a week? (how muchwill it cost just for the portion of food he eats in a week’s time)
- When he is fully grown, how many bags of food will you have to buy every year to feedhim? (remember, you can only buy full bags of food)
