Question

Shirley wants to buy a skateboard for $64. She has $98 in her account. She spent $10.85 to buy stationary. She also wants to buy some cookies for $1.65 each. What is the maximum number of cookies, n, that Shirley can buy so that she has enough money left to buy the skateboard?

n ≥ 14
n ≤ 16
n ≤ 14
n ≥ 16

Answer 1

Explanation:

so first you have to subtract 64 dollars from your balance so $98-$64=$34.

Next you have to subtract $10.85 from your new balance so it would be $34-$10.85=$23.15

Last you have to divide 23.15 by 1.65 because you have to see how many cookies you can afford, so it would be 23.15 divided by 1.65 and the answer is 14. so you can afford 14 cookies

Answer 2

14 cookies
