Question

Beth goes to the bakery with $35. She purchases 2 loaves of bread for $3 each and a cake for $15. She plans to spend the remainder of her money on cookies for $1.25 each. What is the greatest number of cookies that Beth can buy? Write a number only.

Answer 1

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to add 3 2 times, 3x2=6 so then you add 15, 15+6= 21, so out of 35, she spent 21, 35-21=14. now you multiply 14x1.25. Dont forget the decimal point. 14x1.25= would be 17.5, but you cant buy a half of a cookie, so the answer is 17
