Question

cara is making a beaded necklace for a gift. she wants to spend more than $25 because she doesn´t want to seem like a cheap friend but no more than $60 because she isn´t that good of a friend either.the bead store charges $3 for large beads and $2 for small beads.if she buys 5 large beads, how many small beads can she buy to stay within her budget.

Answer 1

5 small beads!

Explanation:

Hey there!

If large beads are $3 each, and she buys 5 of them, our equation is $3 x 5 which equals $15. So Cara will spend $15 buying large beads.

Cara has $10 left now, because $25 - $15 = $10. Since each small bead is $2, we divide $10 (the total amount of money she has) by $2 (the cost of each bead). This will tell us how many she can buy! So $10 ÷ $2 is 5. Cara can buy 5 small beads!
