At a fish market, a pound of salmon costs $12 and a pound of shrimp costs $18. Mrs. Donnelly wants to buy 2 1/3 pounds of salmon and 3 1/2 pounds of shrimp. If she has $93, can she buy the amounts of salmon and shrimp she wants? If yes, how much money will she have left over? If no, how much more does she need?

Yes and she would have $2 left over because all the food costs $91.

Step-by-step explanation:

We should set up an equation so that everything makes sense. A calculator would be wise for this problem, but I am going to lay it out anyhow.

We should convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions to not be confused. 3 1/2 becomes 7/2 or 3.5 and 2 1/3 becomes 7/3.

From your wording, we can assume that the money Mrs. Donnelly has is either greater than or equal to $93.

Thus, we have 12*(7/3) + 18*(7/3) is equal to or greater than 93 (this is an inequality).

The math shows that the food costed 91 and so she only has $2 left.
