a certain species of fish costs ​ 5.99 each you spend at most 40$. How many of this type of fish can you buy for your​ aquarium?

1 answer

To determine how many fish you can buy, you divide the available budget by the cost per fish:

Number of fish = Budget / Cost per fish

In this case, the budget is $40 and the cost per fish is $5.99. Plugging these values into the formula:

Number of fish = 40 / 5.99 ≈ 6.68

Therefore, you can buy a maximum of 6 fish for your aquarium.
