Question

Tyler has $125.00 to spend on books and CDs. He buys one book for $30.00. He wants to spend the rest on CDs that are on sale for $9.00 each. Which of these statements is true?

a.He can't buy any CDs.

b.He can buy 11 CDs.

c.He can buy more than 11 CDs.

d.He can buy 10 CDs.

Answer 1

d. He can buy 10 CDs

Explanation:

The reason he can only buy 10 is because if the CDs are $9.00 each then you would multiply:

10 x 9 = $90.00

If you add the $30.00 of books:

$90.00 + $30.00 = $120.00

This means he does not have enough money to buy another CD. He has $5.00 left over.
