Question

The school dance costs $15.00 for admission plus $2.50 for each snack. Salvador has

$37.50 total to spend on the dance and snacks. At most, how many snacks can he purchase at

the dance?

Answer 1

$9.00

Explanation:

• Salvador has $37.50
• He will spend $15.00 on admission, which leaves him with $22.50
• You can then divide the money he has leftover ($22.50) by the price for each snack ($2.50) which is $9.00

Another way to write this equation would be:

($37.50 - $15.00) ÷ $2.50 = $9.00
