Question

Eva and her grandchildren went into a bakery and where they sell cookies for $0.50 each and brownies for $2.25 each. Reba has &15 and must buy a minimum of 9 cookies and brownies altogether. If she decided to buy 5 cookies, determine the maximum number of brownies she could buy.

Answer 1

Answer: 5 cookies and 6 brownies.

Step-by-step explanation: If she decides to buy 5 cookies it will cost her $2.50. This means she can still spend $12.50. If we need to find how many brownies she can buy, the expression 12.50/2.25 can explain. In this case, she can buy 5 brownies and will have $1.25 left over
