Question

Grant is planting one large tree and several smaller trees. He has a budget of $1400. A large tree coast $200. Each smaller tree is $150. How many total trees can grant purchase on his budget

Answer 1

He is buying one large tree, so subtract the cost of a large tree from the total:

1400 - 200 = 1200

He can spend 1200 on small trees.

Divide 1200 by the cost of a small tree to find how many small trees can be bought:

1200 / 150 = 8

He can buy 8 small trees.

Total number of trees = 8 small + 1 large = 9 total
