Question

You and your friends have pooled your money and have $12 to spend on lunch . You agree to share a large fry and buy sandwiches with the rest of the money .

If the price of a large fry is $1.22 and the price of a sandwich is $0.89 , how many sandwiches can you buy ?

Answer 1

You can buy 12 sandwiches.

Explanation:

You have to take off the price of the large fry from the amount of money you can spend. So $12-$1.22=$10.78

Then you divide 10.78 by 0.89 (the price of one burger.)

You get a decimal, but you can't buy half of a burger so you round down and get 12.
