Question

Ameera had $10.50 with her. She bought some pencils costing $2.50 each and some

erasers costing $1.00 each. Could she buy 4 pencils and 3 erasers with the money she had?

Answer 1

She can't buy 4 pencils and 3 erasers.

Explanation:

$1.00 × 3 = $3

$2.50 × 3 = $7.5

$7.5 + $3 = 10.5

She can't because when you times ($2.50 × 3) + $3 = you get 10.5

Which would be the budget.
