You gotta explain it dude, not just the answer. We're promoting competitive problem solvers not just hungry-for-answers (Thus, leading to laziness) people.

Yea, and personally, I like knowing why not just because so would you please explain clearly and then I can reward you with a metal? 😃

This is part of my ACT practice so I need to know how to solve the math problems

So he spent $60 total, at $4 each. How many did he buy?

anonymous · Answer

According to my calculations, he bought 15. (15*4 is 60)

anonymous · Answer

(Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm a bit doubtful when it comes to math.)

aripotta · Answer

15 is correct.
Says he saved $37.50. Which means he would have paid $97.50 (37.50 + 60)

So to get your answer, divide 97.5 by 15
