Cara has $25 to buy dry pet food and treats for the animal shelter. A pound of dog food costs $2 and treats are $1 a piece. If she buys 9 pounds of food, what is the greatest number of treats she can by?

Cara starts with 25$.

9 x 2 = 18$

25 - 18 = 7$

Cara can buy 7 dogs treats.

9 pounds of food at 2.00= 18.00

she has 25.00-18.00= 6.00 to buy treays

6÷1=6

Cara can buy 6 treats
