Question

Aditi has $50.00 in her wallet. She buys a shirt for $12.00 and also wants to buy some bracelets that are on sale for $0.60 each. The inequality below relates x, the number of bracelets she can buy, with her shirt purchase and the money in her wallet.

what is the greatest number of bracelets she can buy?

Answer 1

It’s 63 , because when you subtract 50-12 you get 38, and then when you divide 38 into .60 you get 63.333... and you can’t buy a .33 of a bracelet so it’s going to be 63.

Answer 2

The greatest number of bracelets she can buy is 63
