Chapter 14: Problem 8

Joe has \(\$ 200\). If he buys a CD player for \(\$ 150,\) what is the greatest number of CDs he can buy with the remaining money if CDs cost \(\$ 12\) each?

Short Answer

Expert verified
Joe can buy 4 CDs with the remaining money after buying the CD player.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate remaining money

Subtract the cost of the CD player from the initial amount of money. This can be done with the equation \(200 - 150 = 50\). So, Joe has \(\$50\) left after buying the CD player.
02

Calculate the number of CDs Joe can buy

Divide the remaining money by the cost of each CD to find out how many CDs Joe can buy. This can be done with the equation \(50 \div 12 = 4.16\). As you can only buy a whole number of CDs, Joe can buy 4 CDs with the remaining money, disregarding the remaining \(\$2\).
