Question

At a certain photography store, it cost Pete $ 1.65 for the first print and 85
cents for each additional print. How many prints of a particular photograph can Pete get for $ 20.00?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pete can get 8 prints of a particular photograph for $ 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of each first print is $ 1.65 for a particular print.

Cost of each additional print is 85 cents.

We know, 1 dollar = 100 cents.

So, 1 / 100 dollar = 1 cents.

And, 1 / 100 dollar x 85 = 85 cents

= > 0.85 dollars = 85 cents.

Hence cost of each additional print of particular photograph is $ 0.85.

Therefore,

= > Total amount for a particular photograph = Cost of first print + Cost of additional print

= > Total amount for a particular photograph = $ 1.65 + $ 0.85

= > Total amount for a particular photograph / print = $ 2.5

Let the number of photograph which Pete can get for $ 20 be n.

So,

= > Total number of prints x amount for a particular print = $ 20

= > n x $ 2.5 = $ 20

= > n = $ 20 / $ 2.5

= > n = 8

Hence,

Pete can get 8 prints of a particular photograph for $ 20.
