Question
Stewart has $26 dollars. He spent $12.81, including tax, to buy a new DVD. He needs to set aside $10.00 to pay for his lunch next week. If peanuts cost $0.42 per package including tax, describe the maximum number of packages that Stewart can buy?

Answer 1

First, let's calculate how much money Stewart has left after buying the DVD and setting aside money for lunch:

$26 - $12.81 - $10.00 = $3.19

Now, let's calculate how many packages of peanuts Stewart can buy with $3.19:

$3.19 / $0.42 = 7.59

Since Stewart can't purchase a fraction of a package, he can buy a maximum of 7 packages of peanuts.
