To find out how many sweaters Dezeree can buy with her $100 gift card, we use the equation:

Question

\[
27.50x = 100
\]

where \( x \) is the number of sweaters.

1. Solve for \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{100}{27.50} \approx 3.64
\]

Since she can only buy whole sweaters, \( x = 3 \).

2. Verify the total cost for 3 sweaters:

\[
\text{Total cost} = 27.50 \times 3 = 82.50
\]

This is under $100, leaving her with:

\[
100 - 82.50 = 17.50
\]

3. Check if she can buy 4 sweaters:

\[
\text{Total cost for 4 sweaters} = 27.50 \times 4 = 110.00
\]

This exceeds her budget.

In summary, Dezeree can buy **3 sweaters** for **$82.50**, leaving her with **$17.50** on her gift card.

Answer 1

To find out how many sweaters Dezeree can buy with her $100 gift card, we can use an equation. Let’s say each sweater costs $27.50, and we want to know how many she can get.

1. First, we need to solve for how many sweaters, or \( x \):

\[ 27.50x = 100 \]

So we divide 100 by 27.50:

\[ x = \frac{100}{27.50} \approx 3.64 \]

Since Dezeree can only buy whole sweaters (you can't buy part of a sweater!), she can buy 3 sweaters.

2. Now let’s check how much money that costs:

\[ \text{Total cost} = 27.50 \times 3 = 82.50 \]

That’s less than her $100 gift card, so she will have some money left.

Here’s what she has left:

\[ 100 - 82.50 = 17.50 \]

So Dezeree has $17.50 left on her gift card.

3. Now let’s see if she can buy 4 sweaters:

\[ \text{Total cost for 4 sweaters} = 27.50 \times 4 = 110.00 \]

Oops! That’s more than her $100 gift card. She can't do that.

In conclusion, Dezeree can buy 3 sweaters for $82.50, and she will have $17.50 left on her gift card.
