Question

Zack has $60 to spend on a fish tank, supplies, and some fish . The fish tank and supplies cost $29.50. Each fish costs $2.70. What is the maximum number of fish that Zack can buy ?

Answer 1

the max number of fish is 11

Explanation:

when you do 2.70×11 it equals 29.7which then you add on the 29.50 and get 59.2 as a answer

Answer 2

Explanation:

29.5+ 2.7x Must be <= 60

2.7x <= 30.5

x<= 11 fish

check your work

29.5 + 2.7(11) <= 60

59.2 <= 60

important to remember to round down because you can't have a fraction of a fish and you also can't round up because that will make it be greater than 60
