Question

Fatima plans to spend at least $15 and at the most $20 on sketch pads and pencils if she buys 2 sketch pads how many pencils can she buy while staying in her prince range.

Answer 1

Based on the amount that Fatima wants to spend in total and the price of the sketch pads and pencils, the number of pencils she can buy is 12 to 18 pencils.

What number of pencils can Fatima buy?

If Fatima bought 2 sketchpads, she would have spent:

= 3.25 x 2

= $6.50

If she spent at most $20, the amount to spend on pencils is:

= 20 - 6.50

= $13.50

Pencils are $0.75 so the number of pencils Fatima can buy are:

= 13.50 / 0.75

= 18 pencils

If she spent at most $15, the number of pencils to buy is:

= (15 - 6.50) / 0.75

= 12 pencils

Missing details from the question:
the sketchpad is $3.25 each and the pencils are $0.75 each
