Yesterday I was grocery shopping and I noticed a sale on dog food (Normally I would not buy dog food from a grocery store because my mom owns an organic pet food store, but we'll talk more about that latter!)
Purina is on sale for a third off its regular price of $6.00 for 10 weeks. If I bought a bag of dog food once a week for 10 weeks, how much would it cost for 10 bags? How much money would I save? Show your answer as a fraction (multiplication sentence?), and in money.

Beneful is also on sale for 1/4 off it's regular price of $8.00 for 10 weeks. What is the better deal?

After reading this article, I want you to Sequence the events in order. You may not want to Sequence every event, probably only the main events. Talk about the tragedy turned "miracle" from beginning to end. As a time saver you do not need to include every Chilean rescued.
