Ying Ying wants to buy some petunias.

The table compares the number of petunias Ying Ying could buy and the money that would remain in her wallet (in dollars).

Petunias Money (dollars)

2 - 6.50

8 - 5.00

14 - 3.50

How many Petunias can Ying Ying buy at most?

2 petunias leave $6.50 on her wallet, and 8 leave $5.00. This means that 6 petunias cost $1.50, and that 1 petunia costs 25 cents.

.25 goes into 3.50 (the amount of money she has left in her wallet after buying 14 petunias) 14 times. 14 + 14 = 28.

Ying Ying can buy 28 petunias at most.
