Then solve the equation.

A copy center charges 40¢ for the first 3
copies and 7¢ for each additional copy.
How many copies can be made for 75¢?

Answer:

8

Explanation:

Ok so 3 copies = 40 cents.

75 - 40 = 35.

We only have 35 cents left.

The highest number that can go in 35 with 7 is 5.

Oir original 3 copies + our 5 copies is 8

I did this in my head so sorry if I'm totally wrong.
