Question

Jamison is purchasing toys for a toy drive. He can buy 25 toys with $45. If Jamison has $290, how many toys can he buy?

Answer 1

Data:

25 toys per $45

To find how many toys he can buy with $290 find how much cost 1 toy:

Divide $45 into 25 toys:

`\frac{45}{25\text{toys}}=(1.8)/(toy)`

As 1 toy cost $1.8, divide $290 into $1.8:

`(290)/(1.8)=161.11\approx161`Then, Jamison can buy 161 toys with $290
