suppose you want to order greeting cards. A box of greeting cards cost $4.95. There is shipping and handling fee of $5.25 for the entire order. How many boxes of cards can you order if you want to spend no more than $30

Here’s how you do it.

30 - 5.25 = 24.75

24.75 / 4.95 = 5

You can buy 5 boxes
