Question 7 of 10
Marco's Choir class is performing a concert. He wants to buy as many tickets as he can afford. If tickets cost $\$ 2.50$ each and he has $\$ 12.25$ to spend, how many tickets can he buy?
0 tickets
3 tickets
4 tickets
5 tickets
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine the Cost of One Ticket
The cost of one ticket is given as \$2.50.
Step 2: Determine the Total Amount Marco Can Spend
Marco has a total of \$12.25 to spend on tickets.
Step 3: Calculate the Maximum Number of Tickets Marco Can Buy
To find out how many tickets Marco can buy, divide the total amount he has by the cost of one ticket:
\[
\text{Number of tickets} = \frac{12.25}{2.50} = 4.9
\]
Since Marco cannot buy a fraction of a ticket, he can only purchase whole tickets. Therefore, he can buy 4 tickets.
