What is the greatest number of caps she can buy?

Question

Laura is the fund raising manager for the local charity, she is ordering caps for an upcoming charity walk. The company that makes the caps charge $6 per cap plus a $25 shipping fee. Laura has a budget of $1,000

Answer 1

The equation would be:

(1,000-25)/6 = ?

We would subtract $25 from $1,000 if you were going to buy the hats all in one order.

We would devide the remaining amount by $6.
