Question

kali spent $150 on a magazine and some erasers if the magazine cost $60 and each eraser cost $15 then how much erasers did she buy

Answer 1

Answer :-

• Kali bought 6 erasers.

Given :-

• Kali spent $150 on a magazine.
• She also bought some erasers.
• The cost of the magazine was $60.
• The cost of each eraser was $15.

To find :-

• The number of erasers she bought.

Step-by-step explanation :-

In total, Kali spent $150.

She bought a magazine and some erasers.

Out of this, the magazine was of $60.

So, the money left with Kali = $150 - $60 = $90.

After buying the magazine, Kali was left with $90.

And the cost of each eraser was $15.

Therefore, the number of erasers she bought =

${\boxed {\tt \dfrac{Remaining \: money}{Cost\:of \:each \:eraser}}}$

Remaining money = $90.

So, we get :-

$\sf \dfrac{90}{15}$

Reducing the numbers, we get,

$\sf \Rightarrow 6.$

So, Kali bought 6 erasers, each costing $15.
