Question

Chris wants to order blu-rays over the internet. Each Blu-ray cost $29.99 and shipping for

the entire order cost $9.99. If he can spend no more than $150, how many blu-rays could he
buy?

Answer 1

4 blu-rays

Explanation:

*Note: I'm rounding up to full dollars to make this easier. You will get the same answer, whether you round up or not.

First, get rid of the shipping cost from the budget.

$150 - $10 = $140 left for blu-rays

Then divide $140 by $30, which is the price for a single blu-ray to get the number of blu-rays Chris can get.

$140 ÷ $30 ≈ 4.6 repeating. You can't have a fraction of a movie, so Chris can get 4 blu-rays
