Scenario 9.9
"Gollee those cats sure go through a lot of food," Geoff exclaimed as he saw the shopping list pad that had been pre-printed with the words "cat food" at the top. He pondered a different approach to shopping for the furry little darlings, reviewed his shopping records, and discovered the following. The price of cat food has held steady at 89 cents per can. Despite feigning indifference, each of the seven cats nibbles their way through an average of one can per day, three hundred sixty five days a year.
