Chad is hosting a BBQ on the hottest day of the year, where there will be a total of 15 people. He will need 2 pounds of ice per person to account for the heat. One pound bags of ice are sold for $3.00 for a pack of 10. How much will he spend on ice? | He’s inviting 15 guests and will need 2 pounds per person so he will need 15*2 = <<15*2=30>>30 pounds of ice
Ice is sold in 10-pound bags and he needs 30 pounds so he will need 30/10 = <<30/10=3>>3 bags of ice
Each bag is $3.00 and he needs 3 bags so they will cost 3*3 = $<<3*3=9.00>>9.00
