Answer:

You must buy at least 30 fries to get 10 dollar ins coupons

Explanation:

We can write a ratio to find the minimum

1 dollar 10 dollars

--------------- = -------------

3 fries x fries

Using cross products

1 *x = 10 * 3

x = 30

You must buy at least 30 fries to get 10 dollar ins coupons
