A certain species of fish costs ​$5.49 each. You can spend no more than ​$20. How many of this type of fish can you buy for your​ aquarium?

1 answer

To determine the number of fish you can buy, you divide the total amount you can spend by the cost per fish:

$20 / $5.49 = 3.64

Since you cannot purchase a fraction of a fish, you can buy up to 3 fish for your aquarium.
