Question

Tom has 40$ to spend. He spend $21.40 on a light saber. He needs to set aside $15 for a toda t-shirt. If skittles cost $0.58 per package, what is the maximum number of skittles packages he can buy? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

40 - 21.40 = 18.6

18.6 - 15, for the amount he sets aside for shirt = 3.6 left to spend

3.6 divided by 0.58 = 6.20

so rounded, the answer should be 6 packages of skittles

Answer 2

Tom would have enough money to buy 6 bags
