Answer:

4 scrunchies

Explanation:

GIVEN :

Sara can spend up to $24.98.

She already spent $12.99

She wants scrunchies that are $3.00 each.

To Find : No. of scrunchies She can purchase.

Solution :

Since she can spend up to $24.98.

She already spent $12.99

So, amount she can spend further = $24.98-$12.99 = $11.99

Now she wants to buy scrunchies

No. of scrunchies of $3.00 = 1

No. of scrunchies of $1.00 = 1/3

No. of scrunchies of $11.99 :


=
(1)/(3) *11.99



3.99


Thus no. of scrunchies of $11.99 =3.99≈4

Hence she can buy 4 scrunchies
