Natalie is shopping for new clothes and does not want to spend more than $65. She buys one dress for $26 and wants to buy a few shirts that cost $13 each.

Question

What is the maximum number of shirts she can buy?

Answer 1

To find out the maximum number of shirts Natalie can buy, we first need to determine how much money she has left after buying the dress.

1. Natalie’s total budget is $65.

2. The cost of the dress is $26.

3. We subtract the cost of the dress from her total budget:

   \[ 65 - 26 = 39 \]

So, Natalie has $39 left to spend on shirts.

Next, we need to determine how many shirts she can buy with the remaining $39. The cost of each shirt is $13.

4. We divide the remaining money by the cost of each shirt:

   \[ \frac{39}{13} = 3 \]

Therefore, the maximum number of shirts Natalie can buy is 3.
