Sophia has $6 to spend on lunch during a basketball tournament. The concession stands sell sodas for $0.75 and all of their food items for $1.50. What is the maximum number of food items Sophia can purchase if she buys one drink?

Answer 1

Sophia can purchase 3 food items and have 75 cents left over

Answer 2

Important info:

- Sophia has $6 to spend on lunch

- Concession stands sell sodas for $0.75

- All of their food items for $1.50

- Pretend she buys one drink

- Find the maximum amount of food she can buy now.

Process:

Subtract 600 and 75 since $6 = 600 cents

600 - 75 = 525

So Sophia has $5 and 25 cents left

Each food item is worth $1.50 which is 150 cents and she currently has $5.25 which is 525 cents

So divided 525 and 150

525 / 150 = 3.5

Unfortunately she can't buy half of a food item so the answer would be 3

Final Answer:

3, Sophia can buy 3 food items after buying 1 drink
