Question

Jody has $40 and needs at least $18.25 to buy the scrapbook. Each sheet of paper costs $0.34. how many sheets of paper can she buy

Answer 1

Jody = $40
1 scrapbook = $18.25
1p of paper = $0.34 
You need to add $0.34 until you reach the final price that does not go over $18.25 which is $18.02 for 53 sheets of paper
However, Jody can afford 2 scrapbooks because $18.25 x 2 = $36.50 
Therefore, $0.34 x 53 x 2 = $36.04 
So Jody can buy 106 sheets of paper from the scrapbook

Answer 2

You take away $18.25 away from $40 which becomes $21.75. Then you divide $21.75 by $0.34 which is 63.9705882. You have to round this down to get a full number.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Answer=63
