Each carmel apple cost $1.75 and he had ten dollars so were going to use division and i got 5.714... Etc and you cant but half a carmel apple so we have to round down which would be 5 apples, if we rounded up and it is 6 apples Max would but too many apples for the money he has so we must round down

$1.75 by 5 is equal to $8.75. And if you were to do by 6 it would be 50 cents over. So Max can only buy 5 caramel apples.
