Animal Cost

 Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I will be talking about what we have been doing for Math's. So for math's we had to get the costs of animals and their needs and then put the onto a table and then add the costs all up together and find the best pet to get for the class. I personally thought that the Axolotl would be the best pet to buy as it is small cheap and easy to look after. Compared to the other animals it is also a sensible choice. 

Here is my Doc with the tables on it....

Kirsty and I think that it would be best to get an Axolotl because it's cheaper and easier to look after,

there is less to do so that they won’t have to take time to prepare work for the students to get a pet. 

Kirsty and I also discussed that you don’t need that much money to get the things because instead of

getting the expensive brands you can get the budget brands.
