Answer 1

Given :

Claudia spends $2.15 day for lunch.

Her cafeteria lunch account has a balance of 48.00 .

To Find :

The maximum number of days, d that she can eat without adding money to her lunch account.

Solution :

Number of days she can eat without adding money in her account is :

$n = \dfrac{Remaining \ Balance }{2.15}\\\\n = \dfrac{48}{2.15}\\\\n = 22.325$
