Question

Jenna has at most $80 to spend on clothes. She wants to buy a pair of jeans for$22 and spend the rest on t-shirts. Each t-shirt costs $8. Whats the maximum number of shirts she can buy

Answer 1

7 shirts

Explanation:

You first have to subtract 22 from 80, since that's how much she already spent, 80-22=58. Now you have to do 58/8, but since 8 doesn't divide evenly into 58, you have to go with the closet multiple of 8 which would be 56. 7x8=56, so Jenna can buy a maximum number of 7 shirts.
