Sam has $140 to shop with… He wants to buy a pair of jeans that cost $45 and then some rings. The Rings cost $16 each. If Sam purchases the Jeans first, what is the maximum number of rings that Sam can purchase?

5 rings

Step-by-step explanation:

sam can only buy 5 rings because each ring cost $16 and after he bought the jeans which cost $45 it left him with only $95. so if you times 16 and 5 it gives you 80 and if you times 16 and 6 it gives you 96 but sam only had $95 left so he could only buy 5 which cost him $80. that left him with an extra $15.

step-by-step explanation:

if x = 1, then the answer is 3.5
