Final answer:
To determine how many pants Nina can buy with her budget of Php 8,000.00 after purchasing 30 t-shirts, first calculate the cost of the t-shirts and subtract from the total budget. Then divide the remaining amount by the cost of one pair of pants. Nina can buy A. at least 5 pairs of pants.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question involves solving a problem related to budget allocation and arithmetic operations to find out how many items can be purchased within a certain budget limit. Nina has a budget of Php 8,000.00 to purchase pants at a price of Php 600.00 each, having already decided to buy at least 30 t-shirts at a discounted price of Php 150.00 each. First, we need to calculate the total cost for the 30 t-shirts:
- 30 t-shirts × Php 150.00/t-shirt = Php 4,500.00
Next, we subtract the total cost of the t-shirts from her budget to find out how much money she has left for pants:
- Php 8,000.00 - Php 4,500.00 = Php 3,500.00 left for pants
Then, we divide the remaining budget by the price of one pair of pants to find out how many she can buy:
- Php 3,500.00 ÷ Php 600.00/pant = 5.83
Since Nina cannot buy a fraction of a pant, she can buy at least 5 full pairs of pants with the remaining budget. Therefore, the correct answer is A. at least 5.
