Question

Books are on sale for $7. Peter has $30 dollars in his wallet. How many books can he buy?( interpret the remainder)

Answer 1

Answer: 4 books.

Explanation: First you divide $30 by 7, and you get 4 and 2/7 (2/7 as the remainder) left over. So you can't have 4 and 2/7 books, it has to be a whole number.

Therefore, he can buy 4 books. I hope this helped!
