Explanation:

Question A-

To find: Greatest number of toys that Paul can buy with $2760

We can simply divide the total money by the toy's price-

total money/toy's price

= 2760 / 9

= 306.6

= 306 (since we cannot buy .6 of a toy we round it off to the previous number)

Question B-

To find: Amount of money left after buying the toys

The remanider of 2760/9 will give us the money left with Paul

= $6

A) 306
B)6$
To get this answer for answer a you divide 2760 by 9
And for b you multiply 9 by whatever answer you got for a and work out the difference between that answer and 2760$
