Rogelio paints watercolors. He got a $100 gift card to the art supply store and wants to use it to buy 12 inch by 16 inch canvases. Each canvas costs $10.99. What is the maximum number of canvases he can buy with his gift card

Respuesta :

Answer:

9 canvases

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of canvases Rogelio can buy, we just need to divide the value of the gift card by the value of each canvas. Then, if the result is decimal, we round down, because if we round up we will not have enough money to buy them all.

So we have that:

Number of canvases = 100 / 10.99

Number of canvases = 9.099

Rounding down, we can buy 9 canvases
