Question

23h Sam will be going shopping on Dec 26. He currently has $150. He wants to buy pants for $90 and

t-shirts for $12.50 each. He expects to get at most $150 for Christmas. How many t-shirts can he expect to
purchase?

Answer 1

4 t shirts.

Explanation:

Given that money available with Sam = $150

Price for pants = $90

Price of each t shirt = $12.50

To find:

How many t shirts can he expect to purchase?

Solution:

Price for 2 pants = $180 which is more than $150.

Therefore, he can not buy more than 1 pants.

The remaining amount after buying pants = $150 - $90 = $60

This amount will be used for buying t-shirts.

Number of t-shirts that can be bought:

`(60)/(12.5) \approx 4.8`

But answer in decimal points for number of t shirts is not possible and he does not have more money.

It means, he can buy at most 4 t-shirts.
