Camille wants to set up a hot chocolate stand to raise money. She spends $40 on
hot chocolate and $0.25 for each paper cup. She uses the equation y=0.25x+40
to keep track of her spending. If Camille has $60 in donations to spend, what is
the maximum number of paper cups she can buy?

y = 0.25x + 40


60 = 0.25x + 40


60 - 40 = 0.25x + 40 - 40


20 = 0.25x


(20)/(0.25) = (0.25x)/(0.25)


80 = x

She can buy a maximum of 80 cups.
