Georgia has been saving her earnings from her lemonade stand. Georgia has 80 dollars to spend. If she buys a new hat for 22 dollars, how many bows can she buy with the remaining money if they cost 5 dollars each?

She can buy 11 because she has 80 minus 22 for the hat, 80-22= 58

5x11 = 55
She would have 3$ left which isn’t enough for a hat

Answer:

Explanation:

Because she bought a new hat for 22 dollars, subtract that from the 80 dollars.

1. 80-22=58

Next, each bow costs 5 dollars so you’ll have to see how many times 5 goes into 58 to get your answer.

2. 58/5= 11 with three dollars remaining.

That means Georgia can purchase 11 bows with the remaining money.
