Question

If a fast food restaurant sells hamburgers for $1.75 each, how many can you buy with $20?

Answer 1

11 hamburgers

Explanation:

well, you want to know how many times 1.75 can fit into 20. so, do 20 divided by 1.75. you get a number like 11.42857143. however, a restaurant will not just let you pay for only part of a burger, so because we can buy 11 and only part of another one, we just say that we can buy eleven burgers. you will just have $0.75 leftover after buying the 11 burgers.

Answer 2

You can buy 11 hamburgers.

Explanation:

Divide $20 by $1.75

= 11.4286

You cannot have half a humburger, so round your answer down

= 11 hamburgers.

Hope this helps!
