Question

Help?

Chocolate candy bars are on sale for $1.90 each at the supermarket. Jerome decides to take advantage of the sale and stock up. He brought $50 with him to the store, but he spends $3 on milk, $5 on a salad, and $2 on bread.

What is the maximum number of chocolate candy bars he can buy?

Answer 1

frist you add the prices of the milk, salad and bread which you get:
3 + 5 +2 = $10.
so if you take that from $50, you have $40 left since:
50- 10 = 40.
then you divide 1.90 from 40 where you get:
40 / 1.90 = 21.05.......
then you round down to get 21 so the maximum number of chocolate candy bars he can buy is 21 :)
i hope this is right and it helped you :)
