Part 1
A certain species of fish costs ​$4.49 each. You can spend at most ​$50. How many of this type of fish can you buy for your​ aquarium?

1 answer

To calculate the number of fish you can buy, divide the total amount you can spend ($50) by the cost of each fish ($4.49):

$50 ÷ $4.49 = approximately 11.14.

Since you cannot buy a fraction of a fish, you can buy a maximum of 11 fish for your aquarium.
