To find out how many fish you can buy, you can divide the total amount of money you can spend by the cost of each fish.
The cost of one fish is $4.99, and you can spend a maximum of $40.
Now, perform the calculation:
\[
\text{Number of fish} = \frac{\text{Total Amount}}{\text{Cost per Fish}} = \frac{40}{4.99} \approx 8.016
\]
Since you can only buy a whole number of fish, you round down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, you can buy no more than **8** fish.
