Answer 1

Answer:

The parents' club can afford to buy 100 Baseball hats or 100 sports bottles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Item to be bought = 100

Total Budget = $250

Cost of each Baseball Hat = $2.45

Cost of each sports bottles = $2.50

Cost of each flag = $2.75

We need to find which items can they afford to buy.

Solution:

each Baseball Hat = $2.45

100 Baseball Hat = Cost of 100 Baseball Hat

Using Unitary method we get;

Cost of 100 Baseball Hat  = $2.45\times 100 =\ 245$

each sports bottles = $2.50

100 sports bottles = Cost of 100 sports bottles

Using Unitary method we get;

Cost of 100 sports bottles  = $2.5\times 100 =\ 250$

each flag = $2.75

100 flags = Cost of 100 flags

Using Unitary method we get;

Cost of 100 flags  = $2.75\times 100 =\ 275$

Hence from above we can see that;

Cost of 100 Base ball hat and 100 sports bottles are within the budget while Cost of 100 flags exceed the budget.

So we can say that;

The parents' club can afford to buy 100 Baseball hats or 100 sports bottles.
