Question

Angie has $\backslash (20$to spend on juice boxes for her son’s preschool picnic. Each pack of juice boxes costs $\backslash )2.63$. What is the maximum number of packs she can buy?

Short answer

Angie can buy maximum $7$juice boxes.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information

We have given that a juice box costs $\$2.63$.

Angle has to spent maximum $\$20$to buy juice boxes.

We have to find the maximum number of juice boxes that she can buy.

Step 2. Convert to an inequality

Let she can buy maximum $n$of juice boxes.

We have given that she has to spent maximum $\$20$on juice boxes.

Then by using given information we have the following inequality :-

$2.63n\le 20$.

Step 3. Solve the inequality

Divide both sides of the inequality by $2.63$, then we have :-

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{2.63n}{2.63}\le \frac{20}{2.63} \\ \Rightarrow n\le 7.6 \end{gathered}$$

As $n$is a number of juice boxes, so it must be whole number.

So round it to $7$.

Then we have :-

$n\le 7$.

Step 4. Final Conclusion

As we find $n\le 7$, where$n$represents number of juice boxes.

That is she can buy maximum localid="1645626810679" $7$juice boxes.
