Question

Beth has $108.50 in her bank account. She buys x shirts for $5.50 each. Write and solve an equation Beth can use to find how many shirts she can buy.

Answer 1

short stroy it is 19

Explanation:

Answer 2

Equation: $5.50*x=$108.50
⇒ ($5.50/$5.50)*x= $108.50/ $5.50
⇒ x= 19.7

Because Beth cannot buy 19.7 shirts (the number of shirts has to be a real number) and obviously Beth cannot buy 20 shirts (because she does not have enough money), the number of shirts she can buy is 19.

Hope this would help~
