Question

22. Jasmine has a budget of $600.00 to spend

Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum number of  square feet Jasmine can purchase is 12 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jasmine has a budget of $600.00 to spend  on home renovations.

She will spend $175.00  on a new sink and the remainder on  countertops.

The countertops cost $35 per  square foot.

Now, to get the maximum number of  square feet Jasmine can purchase.

Now, we find the remainder amount to be spend on countertops:

$600 - $175 = $425.

Remainder amount = $425.

Cost of per square foot countertops = $35.

Now, to get the number of square feet which can purchase with $425:

⇒$\frac{Amount\ to\ be\ spend}{Cost\ of\ per\ square foot}$

⇒$\frac{425}{35}$

⇒$12.14\ square\ feet$

Estimating value = 12 square feet.

Therefore, the maximum number of  square feet Jasmine can purchase is 12 square feet.
