Question

Jim's teacher wants to buy note pads for the entire class. if not pads cost $1.75 each, write an equation that shows how many can be bought with $40.

Answer 1

40 / 1.75 = 22 with about 1.50 left :)

Answer 2

Hello,

To get the number of notepads that can be bought for up to 40 dollars, you need to divide 40 with the cost of single unit (1.75) dollars.

$40 \div 1.75 = 22.857$

Hope this helps.
