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.

What is the maximum number of shirts she can buy?

1 answer

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.

  1. 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.
