Problema Solution
A school plans to order new bats for its baseball team. Each bat costs $44.87. The school has a budget of $187. What are the possible numbers of bats that the school can buy?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x the possible number of new bats, and x is positive integer
the money that the school will spend on x bats must not exceed $187 thus we have
44.87*x <= 187
x < 4.16
thus the possible numbers of bats that the school can buy are: 1, 2, 3 and 4.
