Answer 2

Given :

Ruth wants to buy a skateboard for $44.

She has $100 in her account. She spent $11.36 to buy stationary.

She also wants to buy some comic books for $3.72 each.

To Find :

The maximum number of comic books, n, that Ruth can buy so that she has enough money left to buy the skateboard.

Solution :

Money left after buying skateboard and stationary is :

Money left = $(100 - 11.36 - 44)

Money left = $44.64

Number of comic she can buy is :

`n = (44.64)/(3.72)\\\\n = 12`

Therefore, she can buy a maximum of 12 books.

Hence, this is the required solution.
