Answer:

She can get 9 pizzas

Explanation:

First you add 14 and 10 to get 24

Next you subtract 60 and 24 to get 36

Then you divide 36 by 4 to get 9

Answer: 9 pizzas

Step-by-step explanation: 60— 14 = 46 46 — 10 = 36 36 ÷ 4 = 9

60 would be the money she has in total but then she bought a rice for 14 dollars and so we subtract it. Now she has 46.

The she bought a cold drink for 10 dollars, and have 36 dollars left. She wants to spend the rest of the money for pizza that cost 4 dollars.

In that case we divide 36, which is the rest of her money, to 4 because it says that each pizza is 4 dollars and then get 9.

My English is not the best but hopefully this help :)
