Sienna received a $75 gift card to an online store. She wants to purchase some bracelets that cost $7 each. There will be a $10 overnight shipping fee. How many bracelets can she buy?

Question

A) 7 bracelets
B) 9 bracelets
C) 8 bracelets
D) 10 bracelets

Answer 1

Since Sienna has a $75 gift card, she can spend up to $75 on bracelets.

Each bracelet costs $7, so she can buy $75 / $7 = 10.71 or 10 bracelets.

However, there is a $10 shipping fee, so she can only purchase 10 - $10 / $7 = 8 bracelets.

Therefore, Sienna can buy C) 8 bracelets.
