Question

The Algebra teachers at Blue Field High School need to buy new textbooks and calculators for the math department. The textbooks cost $105.00 each, and the calculators cost $120.00 each. If the teachers have $4,000 to spend and purchase 25 calculators, how many textbooks can they buy?

Answer 1

Answer: 9 textbooks

Explanation:

25 x 120.00 = 3,000

4,000 - 3,000 = 1,000

9 x 105.00 = 945

1,000 - 945 = 55

The teacher can only buy 9 textbooks since she/he doesn't have enough money to get anymore.
