Steve went to the hardware store with $40 he purchased and wrench for $8.75 and a screwdriver for $5.03 he wants to purchase some nails at $0.10 apiece and most how many nails can he purchased

262 nails

x < or = 262 ( i don't have the less than or equal to symbol )

Step-by-step explanation:

$8.75 + $5.03 = $13.78

$40.00 - $13.78 = $26.22

Steve so far has spent $13.78 and has $26.22 left to spend on nails.

$26.22 / $0.10 = 262.2

Therefore, Steve can purchase 262 nails with $0.02 change

262.2 nails (262)

Step-by-step explanation:

40 - 8.75 =31.25

31.25 - 5.03 = 26.22

26.22 divided by .10 = 262.2

thats not a system of equations, that is a solution

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
