The Mendenhalls are planning a 3-day trip to the ocean, 332 miles away. They have $216 to spend on meals for the 3 of them. How much can they spend per day on food?

Determine what information is useful.
The distance doesn't matter only the time (3 days) and the amount of money ($216).
The plan to solve the problem would be to divide the money by the number of days.

$216 / 3 = $72

They have $72 to spend per day.
