Staci is attending a music festival. the ticket to the festival costs $87.96, staci pleans to purchase $30.00 t-shirts from the event to close friends. she is taking $200.00 to the festival. what is the maximum number of t-shirts staci can purchase?

The total amount that Staci had in hand is $200.00.

The ticket at that time costs $87.96.

One Tshirt costs, $30.00.

Now that she has paid ticket, she will deduct the ticket from the cash she has in hand, so as to know the amount she is remaining with.

Tha is, $200-$87.96 = $112.04.

∴ In hand Staci has $112.04 extra cash whereby she can purchase more t shirts.

To get the number of tshirt she can buy, she will divide the amount she has in hand by the amount per piece of t shirt.

For example, $112.04 / $30 = $3.73.

∴ Staci can only purchase threet shirts only at a total cost of $90 for all the t shirts which is $30 × 3 = $90.

Staci has excess of 22.04 after deducting ticket and the other amount she has used to purchase the extra t shirts.

That is, $112.04 - $90 = $22.04.

She can buy Three shirts.

Total money of staci = $200.00

The ticket's cost     = $87.96

Price of one shirt     =  $30.00

Shirts bought by staci = ?

Solution:

Money left after ticket purchase = $200 - $87.96

                                                      =  $112.04

         No. of shirts she can buy   =  $112.04/$30 = 3.73

                                                      =  Three shirts she can buy.

i'm pretty sure its b i might be wrong though!
