Question

The cost of a gallon of orange juice is $3.50 what is the maximum number of containers you can buy for $15?

Answer 1

The most containers of orange juice you could buy with $15 is 4.

If you divide 15 by 3.50, you get about 4.29. However, you can't buy 0.29 of a container of juice, so the most you can get would be 4 containers.

$15÷$3.50=4.285

$3.50×4=$14

Answer 2

You can buy maximum 4 gallon of orange juice.
