Question

Jake is ordering Cheeseburgers for him and his friends. He has collected a total of $56. Each cheeseburger cost $5 and the delivery fee is $6. What is the most number of cheeseburgers Jake can order?

Answer 1

We can use the equation 5b + 6 = 56. We can also make this an inequality, but this will work fine. B stands for burgers.

We need to isolate b, so we need to subtract 6. This gives us 5b = 50. Then, we divide by 5 to isolate b. 5/5 is 1, and 50/5 is 10. This means that the most he can buy is 10 cheeseburgers.

Answer 2

10 cheeseburgers maximum order if delivery will be one charge of $6
