Question

Lucy went to the pet store to buy 17 fish for her aquarium. She bought Fancy Goldfish for $13.49 each and Plecos for $3.25 each. She spent a total of $198.61. How many of each kind of fish did Lucy buy?​

Answer 1

I would say that Lucy bought at least 14 fancy goldfish and 3 Plecos.

Explanation:

First, I subtracted 13.49 from 198.61 14 times and got 9.75. Then, I subtracted 3.25 from 9.75. It took me a while but it was worth it because I was helping a local student.

Hope this helps!!! <3 have a nice day!
