Ruth wants to buy a skateboard for $44.
She has $100 in her account. She spent $11.36 to buy stationary.
She also wants to buy some comic books for $3.72 each.
To Find :
The maximum number of comic books, n, that Ruth can buy so that she has enough money left to buy the skateboard.
Solution :

Money left = $(100 - 11.36 - 44)
Money left = $44.64
Number of comic she can buy is :
Therefore, she can buy a maximum of 12 books.
Hence, this is the required solution.
Multiply 50 by 0.90 because you take a discount of 10% off. 1.00 = 100% 0.10 = 10% 0.01 = 1% if you multiply 50 by 0.10 instead you get the amount that is discounted instead of the new selling price.
