Question

A yogurt shop charges $4.75 for a medium-size dish of frozen yogurt and a choice of 1 topping. Each additional topping is $0.75. If Bruce's mom gives him $8.00, how many total toppings can he get on his frozen yogurt?

Answer 1

Bruce can get a total of 5 toppings on his frozen yogurt.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many total toppings Bruce can get on his frozen yogurt, we need to calculate the cost of the yogurt and toppings and subtract it from the $8.00 his mom gave him.

1. The yogurt and 1 topping cost $4.75.
2. Subtracting $4.75 from $8.00 leaves $3.25.
3. Since each additional topping costs $0.75, we can divide $3.25 by $0.75 to find out how many additional toppings Bruce can get.
4. $3.25 divided by $0.75 equals 4 (rounded down).

Therefore, Bruce can get a total of 5 toppings on his frozen yogurt (1 topping included with the yogurt and 4 additional toppings).
