Step-by-step explanation:

In order to divide some multiple of 15 chocolate bars evenly by 21, the number of bars must be a multiple of the LCM of 15 and 21, which is 105. That number is 7 times 15, indicating the number of boys in the class must be a multiple of 7. The only number between 30-20 = 10 and 40-20 = 20 that is a multiple of 7 is 14.

There must be 14 boys in the class, so 34 students in total.

__

The boys brought a total of 210 chocolate bars, so each girl and the teacher received 10 of them.

step-by-step explanation:

d

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
