Question

staci is attending a music festival. the ticket to the festival costs $87.96. staci plans to purchase $30.00 t - shirts from the event for close friends. she is taking $200.00 to the festival. what is the maximum number of t - shirts staci can purchase?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate remaining money

Staci has $200.00 and spends $87.96 on a ticket. So remaining money is $200 - $87.96 = $112.04.

Step2: Find maximum t - shirts

Each t - shirt costs $30.00. Divide remaining money by t - shirt cost: $112.04 ÷ $30 ≈ 3.73. Since we can't buy a fraction of a t - shirt, we take the integer part.
