Question

Please help. I don't know-how

Answer 1

she can buy 4 shirts

Explanation:

maximum that she can spend = $125

dress = $29.50

shirt = $19.50

first, take 29.50 and subtract it from 125

⇒ 125 - 29.50 = $95.50 remaining

then take 95.50 and it divide it by 19.50 to determine how many shirts she can buy

⇒
`(95.50)/(19.50)` = 4.897

⇒ 4 shirts

to solve:

take 4 shirts and multiply it by 19.50

⇒ 4 x 19.50 = $78

then take the product and add 29.50

⇒ 78 + 29.50 = 107.50

take the maximum money and subtract 107.50 from it

⇒ 125 - 107.50 = 17.5

Tamesha would have $17.50 remaining.

Answer 2

Answer: 4

You would set this up like so:

125 ≤ 29.50 + 19.50x

Subtract 29.50 from both sides.

You should be left with 95.50 ≤ 19.50x

From here, you wanna divide both sides by 19.50 (we do this to isolate the x)

You would get 4.89.

Since Tamesha can't buy half a shirt, you don't wanna round up. So, the answer should be 4.
