Question

Carey has $25.00 to spend. He decided to buy a DVD for $10.25 and spend

the rest on bags of popcorn. If each bag of popcorn costs $1.99, how many

bags of popcorn can Carey buy?

Answer 1

he would be able to buy about 7 bags of popcorn.

Explanation:

First you would subtract 25 and 10.25 to get 14.75, next you would divide 14.75 by 1.99 to get 7.4 then you would round to 7.

Answer 2

He can buy 7 bags.

Explanation:

25 - 10.25 = 14.75

14.75 can't be divided by 1.99 so we round up 1.99 to 2.

Then we divide ;)

Hope this helped!
