Answer:
4 scrunchies
Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN :
Sara can spend up to $24.98.
She already spent $12.99
She wants scrunchies that are $3.00 each.
To Find : No. of scrunchies She can purchase.
Solution :
Since she can spend up to $24.98.
She already spent $12.99
So, amount she can spend further = $24.98-$12.99 = $11.99
Now she wants to buy scrunchies
No. of scrunchies of $3.00 = 1
No. of scrunchies of $1.00 = 1/3
No. of scrunchies of $11.99 :
= [tex]\frac{1}{3} *11.99[/tex]
⇒ [tex]3.99[/tex]
Thus no. of scrunchies of $11.99 =3.99≈4
Hence she can buy 4 scrunchies
