Shirley has $98 in all
She bought a stationary, and wants to buy a skateboard
98 - (64 + 10.85) = 23.15
She has $23.15 left. Divide by 1.65
23.15/1.65 = 14.03 (rounded)
She can buy ~14 cookies
hope this helps
Ok, I began by starting with $98 subtracting the $64 for the skateboard. Then subtract stationary.
$98.00 - $64.00= $34.00
$34.00- $10.85= $23.15
we know each cookie is $1.65 so we divide $23.15 by $1.65 = 14.03030303 cookies
So you can safely buy 14 cookies
