Question

Joseph has $20 to buy groceries. If he buys 2 loaves of bread for $1.50 each. What is the maximum number of eggs he could buy if each egg costs $0.75?

Answer 1

22

Explanation:

20- 1.50(20)= 17

17= .75x

x=22.66666

Answer 2

22 eggs

Explanation:

After bread purchase:

$20 - (2 * $1.50) = $20 - $3.00 = $17.00

Maximum amount of eggs Joseph can buy

$17.00 ÷ $0.75 = 22.67

Joseph can't buy .67 of an egg, so he can buy 22 eggs (max.)

Hope this helps :)
