You have $27.00 to spend at the mall and a coupon for $6.00 off at your favorite store. A t-shirt costs $11.00. How many t-shirts can you buy using your coupon and money?
Ms. Sue please help
(27+6)/11 = 3 T-shirts.
To determine how many t-shirts you can buy, let's break down the information given.
1. You have $27.00 to spend at the mall.
2. You have a coupon for $6.00 off at your favorite store.
3. The t-shirts cost $11.00 each.
Step 1: Calculate the total amount you can spend after using the coupon.
$27.00 - $6.00 = $21.00
Step 2: Calculate the number of t-shirts you can buy.
$21.00 / $11.00 = 1.909 t-shirts
Since you cannot buy partial t-shirts, you can buy a maximum of 1 t-shirt using your coupon and money.
To solve the problem, follow these steps:
1. Calculate the total amount of money you have to spend after deducting the coupon amount:
Total amount = Amount of money - Coupon amount
Total amount = $27.00 - $6.00 = $21.00
2. Determine how many t-shirts you can buy using the total amount of money you have:
Number of t-shirts = Total amount / Cost per t-shirt
Number of t-shirts = $21.00 / $11.00
3. Calculate the division to find the number of t-shirts:
Number of t-shirts = 1.909090909090909
Since you can't purchase a fraction of a t-shirt, you will round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you can buy 1 t-shirt with your coupon and money.
