Question

Admission to a carnival is $5 and each game at the carnival costs $0.85. You have $15 to spend on admissions and games. What is the maximum number of games you can play?

Answer 1

$15-$5 gives you $10 to spend on games, divide $10 by .85 and you get 11.76 but you can't round up because you only have $15 so you can play 11 games. To check your work do 11x.85+5 and you should get 14.35 which is as close as you can get.
