Answer:
2 bag of chips
Explanation:
Total Money Kumar had = $10.00
Money spent on buying candy bar = $1.75
Money left with Kumar after buying candybar can be obtained by subtracting
Money spent on buying candybar from Total Money Kumar had.
Money left with Kumar after buying candybar = $10.00- $1.75 = $8.25.
It is given that rest of money( $8.25 as calculated) is spent on buying bag of chips.
cost of one bag of chips = $2.99
Let no of bag of chips kumar can buy be x .
Therefore total money spent on buying x bag of chips is $2.99 time no. of bag of chips bought
Mathematically it can be expressed as
Total money spent on buying x bag of chips = $2.99 * x = $2.99 x
It is given that he can spent only $8.25 to buy bag of chips.
which means
$2.99 x = $8.25
=> x = 8.25/2.99 = 2.75
Thus he can buy 2.75 bag of chips.
But bag of chips can be only integral number as bag cannot be in fraction .
hence 2 bag of chips can bought which will cost 2*2.99=$ 5.98
Rest of the money will be left which will be 8.25 - 5.98 = $2.27
