Question

Kimberly took her 6 nieces and nephews to a hockey
game. She wants to buy them snacks. How much can
she spend on snacks for each child if Kimberly wants to
spend less than $33 in total?

Answer 1

first, let’s put this info into an equation:

33 > 6x

let x represent how much kimberly can spend on each of her nieces/nephews

33/6 > 6x

5.5 > x

the most kimberly can spend on each niece/nephew is $5.50
