Answer:
$176
Explanation:
You need to know how much 11/16ths of 256 is.
[tex] \frac{11}{16} [/tex] of 256 can be written as:
[tex] \frac{11}{16} [/tex] • 256
Simplify:
[tex] \frac{11}{16} [/tex] • [tex] \frac{256}{1} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{2816}{16} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{2816}{16} [/tex] = 2,816 ÷ 16 = 176
So Louis spent $176 on the program.
To check this, see if this equation is valid:
[tex] \frac{11}{16} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{176}{256} [/tex]
11 • 16 = 176 and 16 • 16 = 256 so it checks out.
