Julie can buy 35 bulbs and have shipped
Solution:
Given that, Julie wants to buy tulip bulbs to plant
From given question,
Cost of 1 bulb = $ 0.50
Shipping cost = $ 4.50
She has $ 22 to spend
To find: To find the number of bulbs Julie can buy and have shipped
Let us first reduce the shipping cost
Total amount she has = $ 22
Reducing shipping cost,
Remaining amount = $ 22 - $ 4.50
Remaining amount = $ 17.5
So now she has $ 17.5
Cost of 1 bulb = $ 0.5
Number of bulbs = amount she has divided by cost of 1 bulb
[tex]\text{Number of bulbs } = \frac{17.5}{0.5}\\\\\text{Number of bulbs } = 35[/tex]
Thus Julie can buy 35 bulbs and have shipped
