Ok, so she started off with $5.00.
She bought milk for $2.99.
She buys bread, which costs $1.50.
Subtracting the money she wasted, the total would be $0.51.
The only thing she could buy is 5 pieces of gum for 25 cents.
Her change will be $0.26.
Hope this helps!
This answer would be 21 because you’d just do 15 increased by 40% which gave me 21
To answer the question, you need to determine the amount Mr. Traeger has left to spend, then find the maximum number of outfits that will cost less than that remaining amount.
Spent so far:
... 273.98 + 3×7.23 +42.36 = 338.03
Remaining available funds:
... 500.00 -338.03 = 161.97
The cycling outfits are about $80 (slightly less), and this amount is about $160 (slightly more), which is 2 × $80.
Mr. Traeger can buy two (2) cycling outfits with the remaining money.
_____
The remaining money is 161.97/78.12 = 2.0733 times the cost of a cycling outfit. We're sure he has no interest in purchasing a fraction of an outfit, so he can afford to buy 2 outfits.
5/8
You have to set the denominators equal to each other.
(1/4 = 2/8)
