Question

If Casey deposits $16 into his lunch account each week, how much will be deposited in 5 weeks? If Casey decides to buy lunch for his friend at $3.00 per lunch, how many lunches can he buy his friend?

Answer 1

Answer:

The exact number would be 26.66666667 but it would be 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually when dealing with decimals anything 5 and up would be rounded up but since we are dealing with money we don't round up. Since his friends lunch cost $3 every lunch the most he will be able to buy is 26. He will have about $2.5 left over which he cannot buy a lunch with so thats why you dont round up.
