Answer:

8 tablets.

Step-by-step explanation:

There has to be at least 10 laptops, because 10 is the smallest whole number that is greater than 9. 10 laptops is equal to 250 * 10 = $2500. Therefore, we do 3600 - 2500 to get 1100. this means we have 1100 dollars left. Next, i figure out what is the most tablets you can get. It's 8 because 9 tablets

(130 * 9) is equal to 1170, and 1170 is not equal to/less than 1100, so 8 is the greatest amount.
