Question:
Large pizza costs $5.50. The club has $40 in their budget that they can spend. How many large pizzas can they afford?
Answer:
The club can afford to buy 7 large size pizzas
Solution:
Given that,
Cost of 1 large size pizza = $ 5.50
Total budget = $ 40
To find: number of large pizzas they can buy
[tex]\text{ number of large pizzas } = \frac{ \text{ Total budget}}{ \text{ Cost of 1 large size pizza}}[/tex]
Substituting the values we get,
[tex]\text{ number of large pizzas } = \frac{40}{5.50} = 7.27 \approx 7[/tex]
Thus the club can afford to buy 7 large size pizzas
Question:
Mai had $16.50. She spent $5.15 at the snack bar and $3.75 at the arcade. What is the exact amount of money Mai has left ?
Answer:
The exact amount left with Mai is $ 7.6
Solution:
Total amount Mai had = $ 16.50
Amount spend at snack bar = $ 5.15
Amount spend at arcade = $ 3.75
To find: Remaining amount with Mai
Remaining amount with Mai = Total amount Mai had - ( Amount spend at snack bar + Amount spend at arcade)
Remaining amount with Mai = 16.50 - (5.15 + 3.75 )
Remaining amount with Mai = 16.50 - 8.9 = 7.6
Thus remaining amount left with Mai is $ 7.6
