Question

Mrs. Smith has only 52.50 to spend at Old Navy. She wants to buy a shirt for Max that costs $39, including tax, and some socks that cost $4.50 each, including tax. Write an equation to determine s, the maximum number of socks Mrs. Smith could buy.

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

Let's find how much money is left if Mrs.Smith buys a shirt.

52.50 - 39 = 13.50

13.50/4.50 = s

s = 3
