Question

Liz spent $15.00. She bought a container of fish food for 3.00. She bought 2 angelfish at $3.00 each. The rest of the money was spent on goldfish, which cost 50 cents each. How many goldfish did she buy?​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 gold fish

Step-by-step explanation:

1) You have to subtract the total for fish food and 2 angel fish from the $15.00 that she spent.

$15.00-$3.00-$6.00 (2 fish at $3.00 each)=$6.00

2) You have to find out how many fish she could buy for $6.00 if the fish are $0.50 each.  

$6.00 / 0.50 = 12 gold fish
