Question
Stewart has $26 dollars. He spent $12.81, including tax, to buy a new DVD. He needs to set aside $10.00 to pay for his lunch next week. If peanuts cost $0.42 per package including tax, describe the maximum number of packages that Stewart can buy?
Responses
First, let's calculate how much money Stewart has left after buying the DVD and setting aside money for lunch:
$26 - $12.81 - $10.00 = $3.19
Now, let's calculate how many packages of peanuts Stewart can buy with $3.19:
$3.19 / $0.42 = 7.59
Since Stewart can't purchase a fraction of a package, he can buy a maximum of 7 packages of peanuts.
