Question

A gym teacher budgets $200 for basketballs . The minimum cost of a new basketball is $15. How many balls can she buy? Is this a minimum or a maximum amount?

Answer 1

Answer: Minimum of 13 balls

Explanation:

If the gym teacher has $200 to spend and each ball costs a minimum of $15, she can buy:

= 200/15

= 13.3

= 13 balls

This is a minimum number as some balls might be more expensive than $15.
