Granola Bar Math

Kroger had a sale on granola bars, but you had to buy ten boxes to the get the sale price. Since Sarah eats a bar every day, I bought ten boxes. We also got some great math questions out of it, such as:

If there are ten granola bars in each box, and I bought ten boxes, how many granola bars do we have?

If Sarah eats one granola bar a day, how long will they last?

If I paid $1.50 for each box, how much does each granola bar cost?

If I paid $1.50 for each box, and I bought ten boxes, how much did I pay total?

We had a good discussion figuring out the answers.
