Question

You had your photo taken and you want to order copies of it. You want one large photo and some wallet size photos. It cost $9.66 for a large photo and $.55 each for wallet size photos. You have 20 to spend on copies. What is the maximum number of wallet - size photos can you order?

Answer 1

Answer: Let's first figure out how many wallet-size photos we can buy with the remaining money after buying one large photo.

We have $20 to spend, and we spend $9.66 on the large photo, which leaves us with:

$20 - $9.66 = $10.34

We can divide this amount by the cost of each wallet-size photo to get the maximum number we can buy:

$10.34 / $0.55 = 18.80

Since we cannot buy a fraction of a photo, the maximum number of wallet-size photos we can buy is 18.

Therefore, we can order one large photo for $9.66 and 18 wallet-size photos for $9.90 ($0.55 x 18), which adds up to $19.56. This leaves us with $0.44 unspent.

Answer 2

To find the maximum number of wallet-size photos you can order, subtract the cost of the large photo from the amount you have to spend and divide the remaining amount by the cost of each wallet-size photo.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the maximum number of wallet-size photos you can order, first subtract the cost of the large photo from the amount you have to spend: $20 - $9.66 = $10.34. Then, divide this amount by the cost of each wallet-size photo: $10.34 / $0.55 = 18.8. Since you can't order a fraction of a photo, the maximum number of wallet-size photos you can order is 18.
