Question

Mary Ann is printing from her recent trip to Europe. An online print shop charged $0.15 per 4x6 inch print along with a flat rate shipping charge of $3.00. If Mary Ann has $35 to spend, how many prints can she order?

a) 200 prints
b) 210 prints
c) 220 prints
d) 230 prints

Answer 1

Mary Ann can order a maximum of 213 prints.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the maximum number of prints Mary Ann can order, we need to subtract the flat rate shipping charge from her total budget and then divide that amount by the cost per print. The cost per print is $0.15. So, we have:

1. Cost of prints = $35 - $3.00 = $32.00
2. Maximum number of prints = $32.00 / $0.15 = 213.33

Since we cannot have a fraction of a print, Mary Ann can order a maximum of 213 prints.
