Susan is making a large batch of salsa.
She can spend no more than
$30
$30
on ingredients. She buys all of the ingredients except for tomatoes for
$6.50
$6.50
. Tomatoes cost
$2
$2
per pound.
How many pounds of tomatoes,
x
x
, can she buy?
11 because 30 - 6.5 equals 23.5 and if she can use all 23.5$ on tomato’s you divide by 2 and it equals 11.75. But she can’t go over 30 so you round it down to 11 pounds
