Question

What is the inequality and answer to this problem -> Megan wants to spend no more than $300 planning a party. She spent $75 on food and wants to buy decoration that are $10 each. How many decorations can she buy?

Answer 1

22

Explanation:

300-75=225

225 is greater than 10 and that is equal to 22.5 but since Megan cannot buy half of a decoration you estimate 22 instead of 22.5. So the answer is 22.

Answer 2

Megan can buy 22 decorations

Here is my work

300-75=225
225/10=22.5
Since you can’t buy half of a decoration she can but 22.
