Answer 1

Given :

Carson was shopping online for bow ties to wear with his school uniform he bought a certain number of ties that each cost $12.50 and paid a flat rate of 19 for shipping and handling.

He has $220 in his bank account before buying the tie.

To Find :

Maximum number of ties he can buy.

Solution :

Let, price of buying x ties is y.

y = 19 + (12.50)x

It is given that he has $200 in his bank account.

So, price of buying tie ≤ $200

y ≤ 200

19 + (12.50)x ≤ 200

(12.50)x ≤ 200 - 19

x ≤ 14.48

Since, number of tie cannot be in decimal.

x ≤ 14

Therefore, maximum tie he can buy is 14.

Hence, this is the required solution.
