Question

Part A

Victoria and Max are making friendship necklaces. They need 2 feet of string and 5 glass beads
to make each necklace.
• Victoria has $15 to purchase the string.
• A roll of 120 feet of string costs $5.99.
• Max has $36 to purchase the glass beads.
• A pack of 50 glass beads costs $3.69
Part B
If Victoria buys as much string as she can, and Max buys as many beads as he can, how much
money will each have left over? Assume there is no tax. Show your work or explain your
answer.

Answer 1

Victoria will have 3 dollars left and max wil have 2.79 cents left

Explanation:

3.69 x 10 is 36.9 and max only has 36 dollars so change the 10 to a 9 and then subtract 36 - 33.21 which is the answer for 3.69x9. and victoria can only buy 2 120ft of string which would be 11. 98 cents
