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? a. n ≥ 14 b. n ≤ 16 c.n ≤ 14 d.n ≥ 16

Answer 1

Answer:

n ≤ 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Shirley wants a skateboard that's $64. She has $98. She spent $10.85. She wants to spend some money on a couple cookies $1.65 each. So $1.65* 14= $23.10

23.10+10.85+64= 97.95

while

$1.65*16= 26.4

26.4+ 10.85+ 64= 101.25

So, it would have to be that n is less than or equal to 14.

Answer 2

The maximum no of cookies is n ≤ 14.

Given that,

• The purchase price of the skateboard is $64.
• The amount in the account is $98.
• The spending amount is $10.85.
• The per cookie price is $1.65.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

The amount after spending to stationary is

= $98 - $0.5

= $87.15

And,

The remaining amount is

= $87.15 - $64

= $23.15

Now

1.65n≤23.15

n≤$23.15\div1.65$

n≤14

Therefore we can conclude that the maximum no of cookies is n ≤ 14.
