Answer 1

Part A

Total amount Logan has = $63

Cost of pack of the card on the advertisment=$1.75

Therefore the number of packs logan can buy:

number of cards = Total amount Logan has/ Cost of pack of the card on the advertisement

`Number\text{ of packs(advertisement)=}(63)/(1.75)\text{ = 36}`

In conclusion, the number of cards logan can buy using the cost on the advertisement is 36 packs

Part B

Since the cost of the packs differ at the store we would use the same formula above but with a different cost

number of cards = Total amount Logan has/ Cost of pack of the card at the store

`Number\text{ of packs(store)=}(63)/(1.50)\text{ = 4}2`

In conclusion, the number of cards logan can buy by using the cost at the store is 42 packs
