1) You want to buy gift for a friend and that likes going to the movies. You want to spend no more than $40.00 but no less $24.00. The tickets are $7.50 each. How many tickets can you purchase for the friend?

2) You decide that you will spend more on your friend and you increase the amount to $60.00 at the most and you still want to spend no less than $24.00. How many tickets can you purchase at $7.50 each?

1. $40/7.50 = 5.33 Or 5 tickets.

2. $40/7.50 = 8 Tickets.

To answer both questions, we need to determine the range of the number of tickets that can be purchased within the given budget constraints.

1) In the first scenario, you want to spend no more than $40.00 but no less than $24.00. The tickets are priced at $7.50 each. To calculate the maximum number of tickets you can buy, divide the maximum budget ($40.00) by the price of a single ticket ($7.50):

Maximum number of tickets = Maximum budget / Ticket price = $40.00 / $7.50 = 5.33

Since you cannot purchase a fraction of a ticket, you must round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the maximum number of tickets you can buy is 5.

2) In the second scenario, you have increased your budget to $60.00 and want to spend no less than $24.00. Again, each ticket is priced at $7.50. Following the same calculation as above:

Maximum number of tickets = Maximum budget / Ticket price = $60.00 / $7.50 = 8

You can buy a whole number of tickets, so the maximum number of tickets you can purchase is 8.

In both cases, it is important to note that you cannot spend more than the maximum budget or less than the minimum requirement.
