Case Harper · Answer 1

20-3.50=16.50

16.50:1.25=13.2

you can buy 13 baseball cards and have $0.50 (fifty cents) leftover (remainder)

so the answer is 13 R. 0.20

Sawyer Brady · Answer 2

1) total-spent=left over to spend on brother

1.1) 20-3.5=16.5

2) left over to spend on brother : price of baseball cards

2.2) 16.5 : 1.25 = 13.2

3) you can buy 13 cards and have 20 cents left
