Question

Party favors are on sale for $2.50 each. You have $380 to spend on the decorations and gifts, and you have already spent $272 on decorations. How many party favors could you buy.

Answer 1

Answer: 39

Step-by-step explanation:

You would subtract 380-272 to get 108 then multiple 2.50 to 39 to get $97.50 plus tax will take the rest of the money.

Answer 2

Answer:

we could buy 43 party favors

Step-by-step explanation:

initially we have an amount of $380

if we already spend an amount of $272 this we have to subtract it from the total

$380 - $272 = $108

if each party favor comes out $ 2.50 and we have $ 108 we have to divide what we have by what each one comes out to know how many we can buy

$108 / $2.50 = 43.2

this means we could buy 43 party favors
