Question

1) Pablo has ten dollars. He wants to buy 7 packs of gum. Each pack of gum costs $1.50. Does hehave enough mones? How do you know?

Answer 1

He does not have enough money, as 10 < 10.50.

Explanation:

The first step to solve this question is finding the cost of 7 packs of gum.

1 pack costs $1.50.

So 7 packs will cost 7*1.50 = $10.50.

Pablo has 10 dollars, which is less than $10.50(10 dollars and 50 cents). So he does not have enough money.
