Greg has $85 to spend on cds on Target. It cost him $6 to get to Target on the bus and each cd cost $9. How many cds can Greg buy?

Respuesta :

Hi! Your answer will be 8.  

Step-by-step explanation (I am not using $ for explaining just to make it easy) :

1.  You want to subtract 6 from 85 = 79.

2.  Now, he only has $79 to spend on CD's.  If each CD costs $9, divide 79/9 and you will get 8.77777777778 which is not a whole number right?

3.  This is when rounding comes in, but instead of rounding, we won't have enough to buy 9 so he will just have enough to buy 8 with some money left over.

Hope this helps!! Have a good day :)
