Kayla has budgeted $400 for day trips during the summer. She needs at least $100 available at the end of summer to buy scrapbooks to memorialize her travels. If Kayla spends $60 for each day trip, what is the greatest number of trips that she can take without exceeding her budget?
A) 3
B) 4
C) 5
D) 7

Respuesta :

400-100=300

300÷60=5

5 trips

Answer:- C) is the right answer. She can take 5 trips without exceeding her budget .


Explanation:-

Given: Budget for trips = $400

Amount needed by Kayla at the end of the trip= $100

Thus the exact amount she spends on trips= $400-$100= $300

Amount spend for each day trip = $ 60

Then The number of trips she can take[tex]=\frac{\text{Amount spend on trips }}{\text{Amount for each trip}}=\frac{300}{60}=5[/tex]

Thus she can take 5 trips without exceeding her budget .
