Question

Samantha wants to use her savings of $1150 to buy shirts and watches for her family. The total price of the shirts she bought was $84. The watches cost $99 each. What is the maximum number of watches that Samantha can buy with her savings?

Answer 1

We are given with a 1150$ budget and an expense of $84 and $99 for each watch.

Let's say the number of watches = x
1150 = 84 + (99x)
1150 - 84 = 99x
(1150 - 84)/99 = x

Rounding down the answer, x or the number of watches is equal to 10 watches.
