Multi-step Equation

OpenStudy (surryyy):

The technical crew of the play needs shirts. Each shirt color matches the job the crew will be working on. Different color shirts have different designs and therefore cost different amounts. You will need:  6 red shirts, at $10.90 each for the lighting crew  4 yellow shirts at $ $10.50 each for the props crew  5 purple shirts at $12.50 each for the make-up crew You have $200.00 to spend on all the shirts. How many green shirts can you purchase for the ushers if those shirts cost $11.50 each? If you spend less than your budget, how much money do you have left over?

OpenStudy (rushwr):

1st of all what u have to is calculate the amounts for each Red ones --> 6 x 10.90 = 65.40 yellow ones-- > 4 x 10.50 = 42 purple ones --- > 5 x 12.50 = 62.50

OpenStudy (rushwr):

Now get the total amount we need to buy those shirts = 65.40 + 42+ 62.50 = 169.9

bu tthen if u calculate the answer will be 2.something something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we cant have 2.decimal shirts

OpenStudy (rushwr):

now the left over money for us to buy the green shirts would be 200-169.9 = 30.1

OpenStudy (rushwr):

now we divide 30.1 from 11.5 to see how much of t shirts we could buy That's gonna be around 2.6 . That means we can buy 2 shirts but there would be some left over money, to find the left over money we have to multiply 11.5 by 2 which is gonna be 23 and deduct it by 30.1 . Then we get the left over money. That's gonna be 7.1
