A certain species of fish costs $3.99 each. You can spend no more than $30. How many of this type of fish can you buy for your​ aquarium?

1 answer

To find out how many fish you can buy, you need to divide the maximum amount you can spend by the cost of each fish.

$30 / $3.99 = 7.518797494

Since you cannot buy a fraction of a fish, you can buy a maximum of 7 fish for your aquarium.
