Question

Maria has 25 dollars. She has to buy a gallon of milk which costs $3.50. She wants to spend the rest of her money on cereal. If each box of cereal costs $4.50, how many can she purchase?

Answer 1

Explanation:

total money she has = $25

she bought a gallon of milk for $3.50

amount remaining = 25-3.50 = $21.50

number of cereal she can buy with the remaining amount =21.50/4.50 = 4.77 boxes

she can buy 5 boxes (approximately)
