Question

Maria is purchasing sandwiches for her team at work. Each sandwich costs $6.25 and there is a delivery fee of $15.00, all taxes included. She can only spend up to $170 on the team lunch.

What is the largest number of sandwiches Maria can purchase for her team while staying within her budget?

Answer 1

start with $170, because this is the limit
subtract the $15 delivery fee
then divide the remaining amount by the price per sandwich, $6.25

if your answer is a non-integer, round down to the nearest whole #.
