Deshaun buys candy that costs 4 per pound. He will spend at most 32 on candy. What are the possible numbers of pounds he will buy?

Your problem is missing the units after the numbers. It could be 4 cents and 32 cents, 4 dollars and 32 dollars, 4 cents and 32 dollars, 4 dollars and 32 cents, etc.

Assuming both are in dollars:

32 / 4 = 8

Deshaun can buy 8 pounds of candy.
