Question

The most kendra can spend on sandwiches and chips for a picnic is $50. She already bought chipd for $12 and will buy sandwiches that cost $4.50 each.

Answer 1

To find out how many sandwiches Kendra can buy with her remaining budget after purchasing chips, you can subtract the cost of the chips from her total budget and then divide that amount by the cost of each sandwich.

Kendra's remaining budget after buying chips:
Budget = $50 - $12 = $38

Cost of each sandwich:
Sandwich cost = $4.50

Now, divide her remaining budget by the cost of each sandwich to find out how many sandwiches she can buy:

Number of sandwiches = Budget / Sandwich cost
Number of sandwiches = $38 / $4.50 ≈ 8.44 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Kendra can buy approximately 8 sandwiches with her remaining budget after purchasing chips.
