Question

Sean has $75 to spend on CDs. If each CD costs $6.98, about how many CDs can he buy?

Answer 1

75/6.98=10.744
We would most likely round this down to 10 even though the .7 because if we round up we would go over the budget.
So he can buy about 10 CDs

Answer 2

He can buy 10 CD's

Explanation:

Cost of 1 CD = $6.98

Let x be the no. of CD's

So, Cost of x CD's = $6.98 x

We are given that Sean has $75 to spend on CD's.

So, He cannot spend more than $75

So,
`6.98 x \leq 75`

`x \leq (75)/(6.98)`

`x \leq 10.744`

So, he can buy 10 CD's
