Question

Teegan likes to play golf. He has budgeted \(60 next month for the driving range. It costs him \)10.55 for a bucket of balls each time he goes. What is the maximum number of times he can go to the driving range next month?

Short answer

The maximum number of times Teegan can go are about $6$

Step-by-step solution

Given information

The amount Teegan has $\$60$nd the cost of one bucket is$\$10.55$.

Suppose the number of times Teegan can go.

Let the number of times Teegan can go be $x$.

The total cost $\$10.55$times $x$must be less than equal to $\$60$:

$$\begin{gathered} 10.55x\le 60 \\ x\le 5.68 \end{gathered}$$

Round off the number to its nearest integer value:

$x\le 6$

The maximum times Teegan can go to the driving range are about$6$
