Question

dave has $18 to spend on a $9 book and two birthday cards (c) first for his friends. how much can he spend on each card if he buys the same card for each friend?

Answer 1

Solution:

18 - 9 = $9 left

9 / 2cards = $4.5

Final Answer:

He can afford to buy 2 cards that are $4.5 each.

Answer 2

$4.50

To find this, take the total amount and subtract it from the given amount he spends:

18 - 9 = 9

With this information, you know you need to get two of the same birthday cards with the left over money, meaning you need to split the final answer in half. So, 9 divided by 2 is 4.50.

Hope this helps!
