Question

I have $57 each hat costs$5 what is the greatest amount of hats I can buy

Answer 1

Answer: Must be 11 hats

Explanation:

Each hats costs $5, and you have $57. So call the greatest amount of hats you can buy is x, we have: 5x=57 => x=57:5=11.4

The amount of hats can't be 11.4 right? The greatest amount of hats is 11.

Answer 2

`\bold{\boxed{\Huge \bold{\boxed{\text{11 hats}}}}}`

Explanation:

To find the greatest amount of hats that can be bought with $57, we need to divide the total amount of money by the cost of each hat. This will give us the maximum number of hats that we can buy.

Step 1: Divide the total amount of money by the cost of each hat.

`(57)/(5) = 11.4`

Since we cannot buy 0.4 of a hat:

The greatest amount of hats that can be bought with $57 is 11 hats.
