Question

Anton is buying supplies for a charity event.

Answer 1

Answer:

110 paper plates

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values:

1 Pack of paper cups (50) = 1.89

1 pack of paper plates (10) = 0.49

Anton has 15.00 to spend

If Anton were to buy 250 paper cups, that would cost him 5 packs since each pack is 50 cups. 5 packs would cost him 1.89 x 5 or 9.45. He now has 5.55 left to spend on paper plates.

Each pack of paper plates is 0.49. To find how many packs he can buy with the remaining amount of money, divide the money buy the cost.

5.55/0.49 ≈ 11.32

Since you can't buy .32 packs, Anton can buy 11 packs, or 110 paper plates.
