Question

Laura is the fundraising manager for a local charity. She is ordering caps for a upcoming charity walk. The company that makes the caps charges $6 per cap plus a $25 shipping fee. Laura has a budget of $1000. What is the greatest number of caps she can buy

Answer 1

The largest number of caps Laura can purchase is 162.

x(number of caps)6 + 25 = c (cost)

(162)6 + 25 = 997

972 + 25 = 997

Hope this helps! <3
