Maggie's mom agrees to let Maggie buy small gifts for some friends. Each gift costs $4. Maggie's mom gave her a budget of $19. When Maggie went online to order gifts, she discovered there was a $7 shipping fee no matter how many gifts she bought.

Answer:

If you`re trying to figure out how many gifts Maggie can get without the fee going over the budget, then I would say that she can buy 3 gifts. 4 times 3 is 12, and when you add 7 it equals 19. Of course, if 3 is pushing it, Maggie can also buy 1 or 2 gifts, and she`d be fine. Hope this helps!
