Answer:
he could buy the minimum of 9 hamburgers.
Step-by-step explanation:
if he buys 2 tacos that would be $6
60-6=54 which means he has $54 left.
$54/$5.50=9.8 which means he can buy 9.8 burgers without going over his budget.
But you cant jus buy .8 of a hamburger so the answer is 9. tada
1 taco = $3
1 hamburger = $5.50
he bought 2 tacos
he bought ? hamburgers
3 + 3 = 6
60 - 6 = 54
54 / 5.50 = 9.8
but we need to find the maximum amount he can buy that will add up to 15 because 9 + 2 = 11 and based on the question it states that he only buys 2 tacos and you cant by only part of a hamburger.
Its an empty answer because 9 hamburgers are too little and so is 10 and since you have to spend all $60.00, 9 leaves you with 49.5 + 6 = 55.5 spent and 10 leaves you with 55 + 6 = 61 spent. It is either below or over the cost required to spend without the addition of sales tax.
