Answer:

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:

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!
