Question

Lucy plans to spend between $50 and $65, inclusive, on packages of charms. If she buys 5 packages of beads at $4.95 each, how many packages of charms at $6.55 can Lucy buy while staying within her budget

Answer 1

She can get six.

4.95 x 5 = 23.25

6 x 6.55 = 39.30

23.25 + 39.30 = 62.55

Lucy cannot buy a seventh 6.55 package without going over her budget.
