D) $7.19

Answer 1

Answer:

The highest price of sandwiches Logan can afford is $7.08 ≈ $7.05

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The amount on off coupon = $0.50

The total money which Logan can spend = $19.75

The quantity of sandwiches which Logan have to buy = 3

Let The highest price of sandwiches Logan can afford =$x + $0.50

Now, According to question

∵ The total money which Logan can spend = $19.75

And Logan have to buy 3 sandwiches

So, The total money which Logan can spend = The quantity of sandwiches which Logan have to buy × The highest price of sandwiches Logan can afford

Or, $19.75 = 3 × x

∴  x = $\frac{19.75}{3}$

I.e x = $6.58

The amount on off coupon which Logan has = $0.50

So,The highest price of sandwiches Logan can afford = x + $0.50

I.e The highest price of sandwiches Logan can afford = $6.58 + $0.50

Or, The highest price of sandwiches Logan can afford = $7.08

Hence The highest price of sandwiches Logan can afford is $7.08≈$7.05
