Question

Jane has $7.50 to spend in the candy store. She likes lollipops and gumballs. Each lollipop costs $2.75, and each gumball costs $0.50. If Jane decides to buy 1 lollipop, then what is the greatest number of gumballs Jane can buy?

Answer 1

9 Gumballs

Explanation:

If Jane has $7.50 to spend, and she wants to spend $2.75 for one lollipop,

7.50- 2.75= 4.75

Each gumball costs $0.50.

4.75/0.50= 9 gumballs with $0.25 left over.

Hope this helped!
