Question

Nina has been saving her earnings from her lemonade stand. Nina has 70 dollars to spend. If she buys a new hat for 15 dollars, how many bows can she buy with the remaining money if they cost 4 dollars each?

Answer 1

Answer:

13 bows

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that she has 70 dollars, if she  buys a new hat for 15 dollars then the amount she would have left

= 70 - 15

= 55 dollars

If she is to buy bows with the remaining amount and each cost 4 dollars then the number of bows that can be bought

= 55/4

= 13 3/4

This means that she can buy 13 bows and will have 3 dollars left as the 13 will cost 52 dollars (13 * 4).
