Question

Macy wants to buy a skateboard for $42. She has $95 in her account. She spent $12.99 to buy stationary. She also wants to buy some ice cream bars for $3.07 each. What is the maximum number of ice cream bars, n, that Macy can buy so that she has enough money left to buy the skateboard?
a. n ≤ 13
b. n ≥ 13
c. n ≤ 16
d. n ≥ 16

Answer 1

Answer:

$n\leq 13$

So option (a) is correct answer

Explanation:

We have given Macy has a total of $95 in her account

She wants to buy a skateboard of $42

So left amount = $95 - $42 = $53

She also wants to spent $12.99 to buy stationary

So total left amount after buying stationary = $53-$12.99 = 40.01

Now price of each ice cream = $3.07

So maximum number of ice cream she can buy is $=\frac{40.01}{3.07}=13.33$

So she can buy a maximum of 13 ice cream

So $n\leq 13$

So option (a) is correct answer
