Answer:

The maximum number of square feet Jasmine can purchase is 12 square feet.

Explanation:

Given:

Jasmine has a budget of $600.00 to spend on home renovations.

She will spend $175.00 on a new sink and the remainder on countertops.

The countertops cost $35 per square foot.

Now, to get the maximum number of square feet Jasmine can purchase.

Now, we find the remainder amount to be spend on countertops:

$600 - $175 = $425.

Remainder amount = $425.

Cost of per square foot countertops = $35.

Now, to get the number of square feet which can purchase with $425:


(Amount\ to\ be\ spend)/(Cost\ of\ per\ square foot)


(425)/(35)


12.14\ square\ feet

Estimating value = 12 square feet.

Therefore, the maximum number of square feet Jasmine can purchase is 12 square feet.
