Mrs. Dimas has $130 to but basketballs for Edison Middle School. How many can she buy at $15 each? interpret the reminder

you can't go over budget

cost=cost per backetball times number of basketbals
cost=15 times b
cost≤130
15b≤130
divide both sides by 15
b≤8 and 10/15
b≤8 and 2/3
round down because you can't buy 2/3 basketball

buy 8
the remainder means you have 2/3 of $15 left or $10
