Given the statement:
Janice spent $54 to buy some pairs of pants each pair of pants cost the same whole dollar amount
Determine how many pairs of pants could she have bought.
Solution:
Since we do not have any clue for the price of a pair of pants, then we can assume by setting limits and using the factors of 54.
Factors of 54:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54
Based on the factors of 54, Janice could have bougt;
2 pairs for $27 each
27 pairs for $2 each
3 pairs for $18 each
18 pairs for $3 each
6 pairs for $9 each
9 pairs for $6 each
