Question

Zach is preparing for an interview and needs to purchase 2 ferns and 7 balloons. Each balloon costs $2.30, and he has $50 total to spend. What is the maximum amount he could spend on each fern?​

Answer 1

Answer: $16.95 per fern tree

Explanation:

first, you want to find how much money the 7 balloons cost:

7(2.30) = 16.10

second, you want to find how much money you have left AFTER buying 7 balloons:

50 - 16.10 = 33.90

third, divide the money you have left by 2 (2 fern trees) to find the final answer:

33.90/2 = 16.95
