1 answer

To determine how many educational workshops Justin can afford, we first need to account for the entrance ticket and then see how much money is left for the workshops.

  1. Cost of entrance ticket: $35
  2. Justin's total budget: $100

After paying for the entrance ticket:

\[ \text{Remaining budget} = \text{Total budget} - \text{Entrance ticket} = 100 - 35 = 65 \]

  1. Cost of each educational workshop: $19

Now, we divide the remaining budget by the cost of each educational workshop to find out how many workshops he can afford:

\[ \text{Number of workshops} = \frac{\text{Remaining budget}}{\text{Cost of each workshop}} = \frac{65}{19} \approx 3.42 \]

Since Justin can only attend a whole number of workshops, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Justin can afford to attend 3 educational workshops.

So, the answer is:

3 educational workshops.
