Zachary wants to use his total savings at the end of February to buy concert tickets. If the tickets cost $17.50 each, how many can he buy?

Group of answer choices

Answer 1

You can buy 6 tickets.

Explanation:

21.8 + 26.6 = 48.4

48.4 x 2.50 = 121

121 / 17.50 = 6.914

Since we can't round here because it's items you're buying, we round down to the nearest flat number, which in this case is 6.
