A business assistant must leave more than $50 in the supply account. There is $175 in the account. The assistant needs to order x boxes of pens that cost $6.50 each.
What is the maximum number of boxes of pens the business assistant can buy? Please show your math work and justify your answer.
The maximum number of boxes is 19 Justification: 175-50=125 Now that we have $125 dollars We can divide it by $6.50 It can only go in 19 times 6.50x19=123.5 So the answer is 19 Hope this helps :)
