What you know:
20 students
3 pieces of felt each
18 inches of ribbon each
felt is 8 per pack
felt cost 3.45 per pack
ribbon spool is 108 inches
ribbon cost is 1.95
What will you do:
find out how many packs of felt are needed
how many spools of ribbon are needed
total cost for Ms. Ransom
Show all work:
1. packs of felt needed
20 students x 3 pieces = 60 pieces felt divided by 8 pieces of felt per pack = 7 and one-half packs or eight packs of felt.
2. spools of ribbon needed
20 students x 18 inches = 360 inches divided by 108 inches per spool = 3 and one third spools or four spools needed
3. total cost
8 packs felt x 3.45 = 27.60
4 spools x 1.95 = 7.80
27.60 + 7.80 = $35.40

You already know how many students and how much of each supply they need. You know how much each package cost and how much is in each package.
You will figure out how many packages of each supply you need and then total cost.
FELT
20 students-3 pieces of felt each 20*3=60
60 pieces needed and 8 come in a package 8pieces*8packages= 64 pieces so you need 8 packages of felt.
8 * 3.45 = 27.60
RIBBON
108/18= 6 (which means 6 people can use one spool)
there are 20 people so 6*4=24 (you need 4 spools of ribbon)
4*1.95=7.80
27.60+7.80 = $35.40
If my math is correct

You will learn nothing if I work it out for you but Iwill give youa guide although I see some people have written full answers. Too bad.
Find out how many pieces of felt you need for the class before finding the number of packs and the cost.
Find the total length of ribbon needed, then find the number of spools and the cost.
Add to find total cost.
It will take some time but you will learn. Trust me.

20 students x 3 pieces of felt = 60 pieces of felt
60 necessary pieces of felt / 8 pieces of felt in package = 7.5packages of felt. Since you can't buy 1/2 package of felt, you need 8 pacakages of felt.
8 packages of felt x $3.45 per package = $27.60
20 students x 18 inches of ribbon = 360 inches of ribbon
360 necessary inches of ribbon / 108 inches per spool = 3.33333 spools of ribbon. Since you can buy 1/3 spool, you need 4 spools of ribbon
4 spools x $1.95 per spool = $7.80
8 packages of felt = $27.60
+ 2 spools of ribbon = $7.80
TOTAL COST = $35.40

money spent on a student for buying felt = 3 x 18 x 3.45$ = 82.8$
money spent on 20 students for buying felt = 20 x 82.8$ = 1658$
money spent on a student for buying ribbon = 1.95 x 108 = 210.6$
money spent on a student for buying ribbon = 20 x 210.6$ = 4212$
money spent on the project by Ms ramson = 4212$ + 1658$ = 5870$

3x20=60 pcs of felt
60/8=7.5 you will need to buy 8 pkgs of felt @ 3.45 ea. =$27.60
108/18=6 you will get six pieces of ribbon from each roll
you need 20, so buy 4 rolls @7.78-- and you will have left overs.
total cost, $27.60 for felt and $7.78 for ribbon, you can add them together
