Question

Steve has $20.00 to spend. He decided to buy a hat for $12.75 and spend the rest on candy bars. If each candy bar costs $1.25, how many candy bars can Steve buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many candy bars Steve can buy, we need to find the total amount of money Steve has for buying candy.

Amount of money for candy bars = $20.00 - $12.75

                                                       = $7.25

No. of candy bars bought = $7.25 ÷ $1.25

                                           = 5 R $1

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

He could buy five candy bars.

20-12.75=6.25

7.25/1.25=5.8

Since you can't buy 5.8 candy bars, he could afford 5.
