Jeff has $25 he spends $10.81 include tax to buy a new dvd. he need to set aside $10 to pay for lunch next week. if peanuts cost $0.38 per package, including tax, what is the maximum number of packages that jeff can buy?

Hey!

First step would be subtract all the money known that he spends from the $25 dollars...

25 - 10 = 15

15 - 10.81 = 4.19

Now with the remaining money you will simply have to use set up an equation..

0.38x = 4.19

Solve for x to get your answer...

4.19/0.38 = 11.03

So Jeff can buy up to 11 packages of peanuts.

11 packages

Hope this Helped!

step-by-step explanation:

this linear equation would have just one solution.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason why this would have one solution is that it is an expression with just one variable. since that variable is not raised to a power, it will always have just one solution.
