Question

you should have $16 and a coupon for a $5 discount at a local supermarket. a bottle of olive oil costs$7. how many bottles of olive oil can you buy?

Answer 1

Each bottle costs seven dollars. Two of them would cost $14 and three would cost $21. Buying three bottles, the amount is $21 which exceeds $16. Therefore, a $5 discount will be given. Subtracting $5 from the $21 will give $16. You have just enough amount to buy THREE bottles of olive oil.
