Question

5. A teacher has $75 to spend on paint sets and marker sets. Paint sets cost $3,75 each and

marker sets cost $1.25 each. What is the greatest number of marker sets the teacher can
purchase? (2 pts)

Answer 1

The teacher can purchase a maximum of 60 marker sets.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest number of marker sets the teacher can purchase, we need to divide the amount of money available by the cost of each marker set. The cost of each marker set is $1.25. So we divide $75 by $1.25:

$75 ÷ $1.25 = 60

Answer 2

60 sets

$75= 1.25x

75/1.=x

x=60
