Question
Ravi has 1.45.
Work out the largest number of pineapples Ravi can buy and the change he receives.
Solution
Step 1: Determine how many pineapples Ravi can buy with his 20) by the cost of one pineapple ($1.45).
1.45 = approximately 13.79
Since Ravi can't buy a fraction of a pineapple, we round this down to the nearest whole number. So, Ravi can buy 13 pineapples.
Step 2: Calculate the change Ravi receives. To do this, subtract the total cost of the pineapples from the total amount of money Ravi has.
The total cost of the pineapples is 13 (the number of pineapples) times 18.85.
18.85 (the cost of the pineapples) = $1.15
So, Ravi can buy 13 pineapples and will receive $1.15 in change.
