Answer:

Wasim has enough money.

Explanation:

1. find the area of the garden path:

600 cm x 120 cm = 72,000 sq. cm

2. find the area of each stone:

it is a square of 30 cm by 30 cm, so:

30 cm x 30 cm = 900 sq. cm

3. find how many stones can fit in the path:

72,000 / 900 = 80 stones

4. multiply that by the price of each stone:

80 stones x $2.50 = $200

Wasim's budget is $220 and the stones will only cost $200, so it is within the budget
