A family of five people has $200 to spend on fishing rods and fishing licenses. They spend a total of $20 on licenses. Assuming they buy five identical rods what is the maximum amount they can spend on each rod?

Respuesta :

200 - 20 = 180
180/5 = 36.......so the maximum they can spend on each rod is 36 bucks
200-20 since you spent that leaves you with 180 for rods.
Since they are all the same they all cost the same so 180/5=36
answer is 36
