PLEASE HELP WITH THIS QUESTION.

Jamie wants to treat some friends to lunch. He has $40 and knows that lunch will cost about $7 per person,p. How many people can Jamie buy lunch for?

Answer 1

$40/$7 = 5.71428571

The Answer is 5

Answer 2

The answer to this problem is 5 people.

Since each person costs $7, you want to multiply 7 by each number until it gets more than 40. So you would do 7*5=35. Since 7*6=42 and is more than $40, the answer is 5 people.
