Abusiness assistant must leave more than $50 in the supply account. there is $200 in the account. the assistant needs to order x boxes of pens that cost $10.50 each.

what is the maximum number of boxes of pens the business assistant can buy?

You could order 14 boxes as that would leave you with 147 dollars spent.

Step-by-step explanation:

10.50*14= 14

Hope this helped :D

There is 200 in the account and they need to leave 50.

This means they can spend a maximum of 150 on boxes ( 200-50=150)

Divide the 150 by the price of a box to get number of boxes they can buy:

150 / 10.50 = 14.28

Since they can’t buy a part of a box they can buy 14 boxes.

i believe that is true.
