Stewart has $26 dollars. He spent $12.81, including tax, to buy a new DVD. He needs to set aside $10.00 to pay for his lunch next week. If peanuts cost $0.42 per package including tax, describe the maximum number of packages that Stewart can buy? A) p ≤ 8 B) p ≤ 7 C) p ≥ 8 D) p ≥ 7

Respuesta :

The answer would be A, because he can only buy 7 packages of peanuts.
Stewart  is left with 26-12.81=13.19 but he has to keep aside $10 so he is left with $3.19. since the peanuts cost .42pp so he can buy 3.19/.42= 7 packets 

7 packets will cost him .42 x 7= $2.94 
choice is B
