Question

At a movie theater, Ellie paid $8 for her ticket.Candy at the theater is 3.25.she had a total of $25 to spend. What is the maximum number of candies she could buy.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer is 5 candies.

$25 is her total amount so you need to subtract the $8 that she paid for her ticket with.

The answer to that subtraction is $17.

With $17, you divide by $3.25 (price of candy) to get the number 5.2. Except, you can't buy a small bit of a candy, so you would be able to buy 5 in total.
