Answer:
Mrs Thornton can buy almost 17 candy packs if she has $30 to spend and one pack cost $1.75.
No, it will not be enough because total students are 20 and total candy packs that can be bought are 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total treats to buy = 20
Total cost to spend = $30
Price of one candy pack = 1.75
We need to find:
a) What is the maximum number of packs that she will be able to buy?
Price of 1 candy pack = $1.75
If she spends $30, divide 30 by 1.75 to get the number of candy packs she can buy
Number of candy packs = [tex]\frac{30}{1.75} = 17.14 \approx 17[/tex]
So, Mrs Thornton can buy almost 17 candy packs if she has $30 to spend and one pack cost $1.75
b) Will that be enough for all of her students?
No, it will not be enough because total students are 20 and total candy packs that can be bought are 17.
