Question

Kai has $40 to spend on groceries.He buys a ham for $14 and then wants to pick up apples for $2.50 per pound. How many pounds of apples can he buy and stay within budget?

Answer 1

10.4 pounds of apples

Answer 2

To find how many pounds of apples kai can buy first you have to subtract 40 and 14 you have to subtract 40 and 14 because Kai brought $40 to spend on his groceries 14 because he spends it for his ham. so 40-14 is $26. so for me to find how much pounds of apples I could buy started off with 5 so I did 2.50 * 5 which would be 12.50 so that's not the answer so next day did 2.50 * 10 which equals $25 so with tax he could probably spend $26 since tax is not in the question $25 would be your answer 10 pounds of apples.


Hope this helps!!
