Answer 1

20

Explanation:

Given:

Lisa is checking out at the bookstore.

Each book (b) costs $1.50 and she has a $5 off coupon she can use.

She wants to spend $25 or less in the bookstore.

Solve:

Since there is a $5 off coupon..

$1.5b - $5.00<=$25.00

$1.5b<= $30.00

$1.5b/1.5 = $30.00/1.5

b=20

Lisa can buy 20 book.
