Angela and Doreen each want to by the same comb. Angela still needs 58cents to by the comb and Doreen still needs6cents. If they were to combine their money, they still do not have enough. What is the most the comb could cost?

64 cents

64 cents

how do you guys know it's 64 cents

To find out the most the comb could cost, we need to determine the maximum amount of money Angela and Doreen have together, given their current situations.

Let's start by finding out how much money Angela and Doreen have individually:

Angela needs an additional 58 cents to buy the comb, so she has (58 cents - comb price).

Doreen needs an additional 6 cents to buy the comb, so she has (6 cents - comb price).

If they were to combine their money, they still don't have enough. This means that the total amount of money they have together must be less than the total price of the comb.

So, we can form an inequality:

(58 cents - comb price) + (6 cents - comb price) < comb price

58 cents + 6 cents - 2 * comb price < comb price

64 cents - 2 * comb price < comb price

Let's solve the inequality:

64 cents < 3 * comb price

Comb price > 64 cents / 3

Therefore, the most the comb could cost is greater than 64 cents divided by 3, which is approximately 21.333 cents.

Since we cannot have a fraction of a cent, we can conclude that the most the comb could cost is 22 cents.
