Question

Christina goes to the market with $50. She buys one papaya for $8 and spends the rest of the money on bananas. Each banana costs $6. How many bananas can Christina purchase?
Billy goes to the store. He has $90. He wants to purchase a leather jacket for $45, a hat for $10, and the rest on jeans. Each pair of jeans costs $35. How many pairs of jeans can Billy purchase?

Answer 1

Christina can buy 7 bananas because one papaya is 8 dollars and then you do 50-8=42 and then 42/6 which equals 7.

Billy can only buy one pair of jeans. The reason is that jeans are 35 bucks and he has already spent  55 dollars on a hat and jacket and that leaves him with 35 bucks left so 35-35 equals zero!
