When in-person, I love celebrating holidays with my students, including Halloween and Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day, especial
ly, is really fun because I get to bring in candy and write little notes to all of my students. Every year, I spend about $50 on Valentine's Day for my students in order to buy bags of candy and little valentines. Every bag of candy costs $5, and every bundle of valentines costs $2. Because the bags of candy come with a lot more than the bundle of valentines, the number of bundles of valentines I buy is 4 more than the number of bags of candy I buy. Write the two equations for this scenario?
Well, 25 certainly doesn't divide evenly into 595, but it does divide into 600, which is <em>very</em> close to 595. So if we divide 600 by 25, we can get a rough estimate of what 595 divided by 25 is.
