I have $230 and I’m at a bookstore. I love books, so I want to buy as many as I can. The books I want to buy each cost $17. At most, how many books can I buy and still have at least $25 left for dinner?

Answer:

12 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets set aside $25 for dinner first.

Amount left = $230 - $25 = $205

Number of books able to buy = amount left ÷ cost per book

= $205 ÷ $17

= 12.058 books

Of course, you cant buy .058 books , that wont make sense, so you take the highest possible WHOLE number, which in this case, is 12 books.
