Jessica has $10. a certain pencil cost 70 cents each. Jessica wants to buy those pencils as many as she can. how many such pencils can she buy? how much money will be left?



math

Respuesta :

First, we can find how many cents there are in $10. 10 dollars x 100 cents per dollar = 1000. Then, we divide 1000 by 70 which is equal to 14.29, which rounds to 14. So, Jessica can buy 14 pencils.
To find how much is left we multiply 14 x .70 which gets $9.80. $10 - 9.80 = .20, so she will have 20 cents left over.

Hope I helped!
