Answer:

Ms. Cohen can buy 12 poxes of crayons.

Explanation:

Ms. Cohen can buy 12 boxes of crayons with the rest of her money. In the question it states she only wants to buy 1 poster not more than one so if she buys 1 poster that's

30-5-25

and than you can just count up by 2 till you get the closest to 25

25-24=1$

24/2 = 12

Hope this helps.
