Question

HELP IM DESPRITE

Matthew can spend up to $75 on supplies for his garden. The flowers will cost $38 and he wants to spend the rest on bags of top soil. Each bag of top soil costs $6.

How many bags of top soil can he buy?

Answer 1

6 bags.

Explanation:

Subtract 38 from 75 to represent the remaining amount of Matthew's money.

`75-38=37.`

Matthew has $37 left over from buying flowers.

Divide 37 by 6 to represent how many bags of soil he can buy.

`37/6=6(1)/(6)`

Matthew can only buy 6 bags of soil, 1/6 isn't included because you can't buy a fraction of a bag.
