Answer 1

Approximately 153


Let me get this rounded

Answer 2

Aiden can have a maximum of 166 copies.

Explanation:

Aiden has $15.00 on his copy card.

Each time he uses the card to make a photocopy $0.06 is deducted from his card.

Means cost of 1 copy is $0.06

Let the total number of copies be = x

So, total copies will be =
`0.06x`

He wants that there be at least $5.00 left on his card when he is finished.

So, the maximum number of copies he can have is given by
`15-0.06x\geq 5`

Solving this we get;

`x\leq 166.66` rounded to 166 pages.

Therefore, Aiden can have a maximum of 166 copies.
