someone please help me T-T

ok ready? 60/11...yes yes it is the power of awesomeness... 60/11=5.45...which is rounded to 5 because you can't have half a cd..unless im wrong...

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yes and equation would have been y = 11x y = money you have x = number of CDs

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

wow i got that right...i just solved that question not to long ago...for a math segment right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So///////i divide 60 over 11 and the answer is 5 cds?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

Does this sound right? 11x >60 in order to solve this we need to divide like so 60/11 which equals 5.45 then we round which gives us 5 so I would have 5 CDs?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

11x < 60 but yeah :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ya well thanks so much ^^
