Question

Samantha wants to use her savings of $1,150 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?

8
9
10
11

Answer 1

The answer to this problem is 11 watches

Answer 2

10

Step-by-step explanation: The answer is 10, becuase the equation would be:

99x = 1150 - 84

99x = 1066

99x/99 = 1066/99

x = 10.77

Therefore, with her money she could only buy 10 watches because she would run out of money before she got to 11.
