Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation: If each hockey stick is $5 then she can buy 6. 5 x 12 is 60 and she has $60 remaining

Subtract the doorbell from what she can spend to find the amount she can spend on hockey sticks:

75-15 =60

Divide that amount by the price of a hockey stick:

60/5 =12

She can buy 12 hockey sticks.
