Jordan had $10.00 if each drawing pen costs $1.49, how many can he buy

He can by 6 pens. 6.7 to be exact.

Hope this helps!!

Hey there!

To solve this, you can multiply different numbers with 1.49 til you get 10.00 or very close to 10.00.

1.49 x 2 = 2.98 (that's too small)

1.49 x 3 = 4.47 (that's also too small)

1.49 x 4 = 5.96 (again, too small)

1.49 x 5 = 7.45 (close, but still not exactly 10 or close enough)

1.49 x 6 = 8.94 (correct answer)

It wouldn't be 7 because 1.49 x 7 = 10.43 and Jordan will not have enough money.

Final
Jordan can buy 6 pens <

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!

The correct answer is addition
