1. The state fair sells food coupons for $2 each and
ride coupons for $3 each. If Marlon wants to buy at
least 15 coupons and spend no more than $40, what
is the largest number of ride coupons he can buy?
4.

Respuesta :

Answer:

11

Explanation:

Food coupons is $2 each and ride coupons is $3 each.

If Marlon spends all $40 on ride coupons, he can buy 40/3 ~ 13 coupons which is less than 15 coupons that he wants.

If he gets only 12 ride coupons, he will have 40-3*12=$4 left which will let him buy 4/2=2 food coupons. Those add up to 12+2=14 coupons which is still less than 15 coupons.

So the largest number of ride coupons he can buy is 11.
