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.(1 point) Responses p≤7 p is less than or equal to 7 p≤8 p is less than or equal to 8 p≥7 p is greater than or equal to 7 p≥8
First, we need to subtract the cost of the book and the lunch from the total amount of money Emma has: $26 - $12.81 - $10.00 = $3.19
Then, we need to divide the remaining amount of money by the cost of one package of stickers: $3.19 / $0.42 = 7.6
Since Emma cannot buy a fraction of a package, the maximum number of packages she can buy is 7. Therefore, the correct response is p ≤ 7.
