A display case of hat pins are marked 5 for $3. If Patty has $21, how many hat pins can Patty get? (assume no other taxes and fees)

Answer: 35

Explanation: If patty has $21, and $3 is the price for 5 hat pins, then: 21/3=7, so she can buy 7 packages which cost $3 and contain 5 pins, and because the question asked the number of pins, we will multiply 7 • 5 and that equals 35
