Joe has $500 in spending money for the fall semester. He needs to buy new athletic shoes for gym class. A plain pair costs $30 while a brand-name pair he really wants costs $75. Joe also wants $25 a week to by his lunch in the cafeteria every day. If the semester is 18 weeks long, can Joe afford to buy the name-brand shoes and eat the cafeteria every day?

No Joe hasn’t enough money to buy name brand shoes and eat in cafeteria everyday . $25 x 18 weeks is already $450. So he only has $50 to spend on shoes . He has to get the $30 plain pair of shoes to be able to eat in cafeteria everyday day for 18 weeks
