Question

Mary is planning to give 6 friends a book and some candy. Each book was $4.50. She wants to spend no more than $39.00. How many pieces of candy can she give to each friend if the candy is $0.25 for each piece?​

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

First multiply $4.50 and 6, you get $27.

Subtract $27 from $39, you get $12 left.

Divide $12 by .25cents, you get 48 pieces of candy.

Divide 48 by 6, you get 8.
