Question

Bryan is buying notebooks and pens at an office supply store. Notebooks cost $3.59 and pens cost $1.49. He can spend up to $13 on these items. He bought 2 notebooks. What is the maximum amount of pens he could buy ?

Answer 1

2 pens

Explanation:

3.59 x 2 = 7.18

He will spend $7.18 on the notebooks

1.49 x 3 = 2.98

7.18 + 2.98 = 10.16

1.49 x 3 = 4.47

Adding 4.47 to 10.16 will make 14.63, which is above 13, thus, he can only buy 2 pens.
