Question

Mariah earned $60 from her job. She wants to buy 2 shirts for $15 each. She also wants to buy some rings for $10 each. How many rings can she buy?

a. 2 rings
b. 3 rings
c. 4 rings
d. 5 rings

Answer 1

Mariah can buy 3 rings.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many rings Mariah can buy, we need to calculate the money she has left after buying the shirts. She earned $60 and spent $15 x 2 = $30 on the shirts. This leaves her with $60 - $30 = $30. Next, we divide the remaining money ($30) by the price of each ring ($10) to find out how many rings she can buy. So, she can buy $30 / $10 = 3 rings.
