Question

Brandon and his children went into a bakery and where they sell donuts for $1.25

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since cookies are $.25 each, and Brandon purchased only 2, you can conclude he has already spent $.50.

If you deduct that from the total, $5.50, you have $5 left. Divide the cost of the donuts, $1.25, and the total to get the answer of 4.

Answer 2

The top equation represents Brandon buying 10 donuts and 2 cookies - it’s not possible.
The bottom equation shows Brandon buying 2 cookies and as many donuts as possible (4)
