A donut shop charges $.70 for each donut and $.30 for a carry out box. Shirley has five dollars to spend. At most how many donuts can she buy if she also wants them in a carry-out box?
To find out the maximum number of donuts Shirley can buy with a carry-out box, we need to divide her available budget by the total cost of a donut and a carry-out box.
1. Calculate the total cost of a donut and a carry-out box:
- The cost of one donut is $0.70.
- The cost of a carry-out box is $0.30.
- So, the total cost is $0.70 + $0.30 = $1.00.
2. Determine the maximum number of donuts Shirley can buy by dividing her budget by the total cost:
- Shirley has $5.00 to spend.
- Dividing $5.00 by $1.00 gives us 5.
- Therefore, Shirley can buy a maximum of 5 donuts with a carry-out box.
So, Shirley can buy at most 5 donuts if she also wants them in a carry-out box.
