6 0

He could buy 4 apples with 6.00$

6 ÷ 1.25 = 4.80

To check your work do

4.80 apples × 1.25$ = 6 $, but you cannot buy 4.80 apples so round down to...

4 apples × 1.25$ each = 5 dollars

He would have 1 dollar left over/extra

So you can set this problem up like 6+ 1.25x because Christian has $6 in his wallet that is the total so we can leave it so far by itself without a variable. Now on the other hand, the apples Christian wants to buy is $1.25 per apple it is x because if it is more than 1 that is each so in math we represent it with a variable of just x . Hoped that helped :)
