start by multiplying 3(15.50) which is the shirts times the cost
and then tell me what you get
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well, as soon as you get that number, subtract it from $120 to find out the remaining money
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it would be 46.5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes, so now do 120-46.5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
which gives you -73.5

Right, so he has $73.50 to spend on shoes. The shoes cost $32.50 each, so divide 73.50 by 32.50

i got this long # would you round it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what number did you get
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2.26153846154
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay, so since he is buying shoes is he able to buy 2.2615... pairs of shoes? no, so you have to round it to the nearest whole number, which is..?
