Answer:

4 stacks of packages

4 * 4 = 16 pieces of pancake

Explanation:

Maximum amount to spend ≤ $30

Milk chocolate = $3.25

Pancakes per stack = 5.50 (sold in stacks of 4)

Let number of stacks = s

In equality terms :

3.25 + 5.50s ≤ 30

5.50s ≤ 30 - 3.25

5.50s ≤ 26.75

s ≤ 26.75 / 5.50

s ≤ 4.86

Hence, 4 stacks of pancakes can be purchased
