Question

Julie is going to the store to buy candles. Small candles cost $2.50 and large candles cost $4.00. She needs to buy a mix of at least 25 candles, and she can spend no more than $85. How many of each type of candle can she buy? Use a sentence to describe how many candles you buy.

$80+$5=$85
