Susie has a budget of $92 to spend on clothes. The shorts she wants to buy are on sale for $14 each. The shirts are on sale for $12 each. If Susie purchases four shorts, what is the maximum number of shirts she can buy to go with the shorts?
4 shorts will cost $ 14 x 4 ,
how much is left from $ 92 after that?
Then divide that by $ 12 to see how many shirts Susie can buy .
To find the maximum number of shirts Susie can buy, we need to consider the total amount of money she has and the cost of the shorts she wants to purchase.
First, let's determine the cost of the shorts Susie wants to buy. Since each pair of shorts costs $14, and she wants to purchase four pairs, the total cost of the shorts is 4 * $14 = $<<4*14=56>>56.
Now, we subtract the cost of the shorts from Susie's total budget of $92 to see how much money she has left for shirts. $92 - $56 = $<<92-56=36>>36.
Since each shirt costs $12, we can calculate the maximum number of shirts Susie can buy by dividing the remaining budget by the cost per shirt. $36 / $12 = <<36/12=3>>3.
Therefore, the maximum number of shirts Susie can buy to go with the shorts is 3.
4 * 14 = 56
92 - 56 = 36
36/12 = ?
