Question

Mr. Hall has $230 to spend on supplies for his classroom. He will buy a bookshelf

and some books. The bookshelf costs $90. He will buy books that cost $5 each.
What is the maximum number of books Mr. Hall can buy without going over $230?

Answer 1

28 Books

You take the $230 and subtract $90, giving you $140, then divided that number by $5, and you can only put $5 in $140 28 times.
