Question

Staci is attending a music festival. The ticket to the festival costs $87.96. Staci plans to purchase $30.00 t-shirts from the event for her close friends. She is taking $200.00 to the festival. What is the maximum number of t-shirts Staci can purchase?

Answer 1

3 shirts

Explanation:

1. Subtract the cost of tickets (87.96) from the total (200)

200-87.96 = 112.07

2. Divide 112.07 by the cost per shirt (30)

112.07 / 30 = 3.74

Since you cannot purchase part of a shirt - she can buy 3 shirts.

Answer 2

87.96+30x<200

Subtract 87.96 from both sides

30x= 112.04

X=3.73

She can buy 3 t shirts
