Question

Jessica is always running out of batteries, so she’s going to stock up. At the store, the best deal she could find was a pack of 20 batteries for $14. She has $60. How many packs can she buy? She cannot break a pack into parts or the owner will not be happy!

Answer 1

First determine how much the item cost = $14 per pack. Then find how much money she has to spend = $60.

Divide the amount of money she has by the cost of the item. 60/14. Then you want to round it down to the nearest whole number. Why? Because you can not buy part of a pack. You must purchase the whole pack.

You can not round up because you only have a certain amount of money and can not spend more than what you have. 60/14 = 4.29 translates into being able to buy 4 packs.
