Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question:
a. Jane bought three sheets of poster board and a pack of markers. Denise bought two packs of construction paper and a tube of glue. Who spent more? How much more?
b. If Jane buys two more sheets of poster board, how much does she spend all together?
c. Julene has $25 to make poster. She buys 2 packs of marker, 1 pack of construction paper, two tubes of glue and a roll of tape. How many sheets of poster board can she buy with the money she has left?
Poster board = $1.29/sheet
Markers = $4.50/pack
Tape = $1.99/roll
Glue = $2.39/tube
Construction paper = $3.79/pack
a. For Jane:
3 × poster board = 3 × $1.29 = $3.87
1 × pack of markers = 1 × $4.50 = $4.50
Total = $3.87 + $4.50 = $8.37
For Denise:
2×construction paper=2 × $3.79= $7.58
1 × glue = 1 × $2.39 = $2.39
Total = $7.58 + $2.39 = $9.97
From the analysis above, we can see that Denise spends ($9.97 - $8.37) = $1.60 more.
b. Total amount spent already by Jane in question a = $8.37
If Jane buys two more sheets of poster board, this will be:
= 2 × $1.29 = $2.58
Total amount spent = $8.37 + $2.58
= $10.95
c. Amount with Julene = $25
She bought:
2 packs of marker= 2×$4.50 = $9.00
1 pack of construction paper = $3.79
two tubes of glue = 2 × $2.39 = $4.78
1 roll of tape = 1 × $1.99 = $1.99
Total amount spent:
= $9.0 + $3.79 + $4.78 + $1.99
= $19.56
The amount that'll be left with her will be:
= $25 - $19.56
= $5.44
To calculate the amount of sheets of poster board that can she buy with the money she has left, we divide $5.44 by $1.29. This will be:
= $5.44/$1.29
= 4.2
= 4 approximately
She can buy 4 sheet of poster board
