Kumar has $10.00 to spend. He decided to buy a candy bar for $1.75 and spend the rest on bags of chips. If each bag of chips costs $2.99, how many bags of chips can kumar buy?

2 bag of chips

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Money Kumar had = $10.00

Money spent on buying candy bar = $1.75

Money left with Kumar after buying candybar can be obtained by subtracting

Money spent on buying candybar from Total Money Kumar had.

Money left with Kumar after buying candybar = $10.00 - $1.75 = $8.25.

It is given that rest of money ($8.25 as calculated) is spent on buying bag of chips.

cost of one bag of chips = $2.99

Let no of bag of chips kumar can buy be x.

Therefore total money spent on buying x bag of chips is $2.99 time no. of bag of chips bought

Mathematically it can be expressed as

Total money spent on buying x bag of chips = $2.99 * x = $2.99 x

It is given that he can spent only $8.25 to buy bag of chips.

which means

$2.99 x = $8.25

=> x = 8.25/2.99 = 2.75

Thus he can buy 2.75 bag of chips.

But bag of chips can be only integral number as bag cannot be in fraction.

hence 2 bag of chips can bought which will cost 2*2.99=$ 5.98

Rest of the money will be left which will be 8.25 - 5.98 = $2.27
