Question

Amir has a $200 budget to spend on a graduation party for his son. He has already purchased $122 worth of drinks and party supplies. He wishes to buy chicken, pizza, or subs for the main course. Prices (including tax) are shown below.





Food Price
Chicken $1.10 per piece
Pizza $11.75 per large
Subs $6.80 per foot





With Amir's budget, which of the following foods could he buy?

Answer 1

Amir has 200 − 122 = $78 left.

Max he can buy:
- Chicken: $78 ÷ $1.10 = 70 pieces (70 × $1.10 = $77.00, $1.00 left)
- Pizza: $78 ÷ $11.75 = 6 pizzas (6 × $11.75 = $70.50, $7.50 left)
- Subs: $78 ÷ $6.80 = 11 feet (11 × $6.80 = $74.80, $3.20 left)

So he can afford chicken, pizza, or subs (up to 70 pieces, 6 large pizzas, or 11 feet of subs).
