Mike has $60 dollars to spend. He spent $12.50 to buy a new juicer mixer.

He needs to save $20.00 for a CD player that he wants to buy. He wants to
buy as many plates as he can. If plates cost $2.50 each, what is the
maximum number of plates that Mike can buy?

Answer:

11 plates

Explanation:

$60-$12.5 = $47.50

$47.50-$20 =$27.50

$27.50 divided by $2.50 = 11 plates
