Emma has $26 for her weekend expenses. She spent $12.81, including tax, on a new book. Additionally, she needs to set aside $10.00 for a lunch outing next week. If stickers cost $0.42 per package, tax included, describe the maximum number of packages (p) Emma can buy
Emma has $26 - $12.81 - $10.00 = $<<26-12.81-10=3.19>>3.19 left to spend on stickers.
The maximum number of packages Emma can buy is $3.19 / $0.42 = <<3.19/0.42=7.595238095238095>>7.6.
Therefore, Emma can buy a maximum of 7 packages of stickers.
