Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a. No, he can't buy 12 packs of baseball cards because 12 packs * $1.70/pack = $20.40, which is more than $20.

b. Yes, he can buy 30 packs of gum because 30 packs * $0.60/pack = $18.00, which is less than or equal to $20.

c. He will still have $6.75 after he buys 5 packs of bouncy balls because $20.00 - (5 packs * $3.15/pack) = $20.00 - $15.75 = $6.75

In the table you provided, you can see the cost of different numbers of packs of baseball cards, gum and bouncy balls. This can help Dante to decide how much to spend on each item and how much he will save.
