Given the statement:
Cicely has 30$ to spend on art supplies. She wants to buy as many pastels as possible after buying a skateboard that cost $6. the pastels cost at most 4$ each.
Determine the greatest number of pastel that she can buy.
Solution:
In order to determine the greatest number of pastel that she can buy, we simply need to subtract first 30 by 6, then divide the difference by 4.
= $30 - $6
= $24
= $24/$4
= 6
Final answer:
= 6 pieces
