Mrs. Rodriquez is purchasing trophies for each child that plays little league. She wants to spend no more than $7.00 per trophy. Which of the following purchases will satisfy her budget? Select all that apply.
A. 3 trophies for $24.00
B. 9 trophies for $72.00
C. 5 trophies for $30.00
D. 12 trophies for $96.00
E. 7 trophies for $49.00
c and e
a and b
To determine which purchases satisfy Mrs. Rodriguez's budget of no more than $7.00 per trophy, we need to divide the total cost of each purchase by the number of trophies in that purchase. If the result is less than or equal to $7.00, then it satisfies the budget. Let's calculate for each option:
A. 3 trophies for $24.00
$24.00 / 3 trophies = $8.00 per trophy
Since $8.00 is greater than $7.00, option A does not satisfy the budget.
B. 9 trophies for $72.00
$72.00 / 9 trophies = $8.00 per trophy
Since $8.00 is greater than $7.00, option B does not satisfy the budget.
C. 5 trophies for $30.00
$30.00 / 5 trophies = $6.00 per trophy
Since $6.00 is less than $7.00, option C satisfies the budget.
D. 12 trophies for $96.00
$96.00 / 12 trophies = $8.00 per trophy
Since $8.00 is greater than $7.00, option D does not satisfy the budget.
E. 7 trophies for $49.00
$49.00 / 7 trophies = $7.00 per trophy
Since $7.00 is equal to $7.00, option E satisfies the budget.
Therefore, options C and E satisfy Mrs. Rodriguez's budget.
