Steve bought $25 worth of groceries. He bought a gallon of milk for $3, two boxes of cereal for $3.5 each, 4 bananas for $.25 each, four apples that cost $.5 each and a number of boxes of cookies. The cookies cost twice as much per box as the gallon of milk. How many boxes of cookies did he get?
How much did he spend on cereal? ** He spent $7 on cereal because 2 x 3.5 = <<2*3.5=7>>7
How much did he spend on bananas? ** He spent $1 on bananas because 4 x .25 = <<4*.25=1>>1
How much did he spend on apples? ** He spent $2 on apples because 4 x .5 = <<4*.5=2>>2
How much did he spend on everything but the cookies? ** He spent 13 on everything but the cookies because 3 + 7 + 1 + 2 = 13
How much did he spend on cookies? ** He spent $12 on cookies because 25 - 13 = <<25-13=12>>12
How much does each box of cookies cost? ** Each box of cookies is $6 because 3 x 2 = <<3*2=6>>6
How many boxes of cookies did he buy? ** He bought 2 boxes of cookies because 12 / 6 = <<12/6=2>>2
