Ted buys wood to build his guitars. Find the number of blocks of mahogany that Ted can afford to buy if he wishes to spend a total of $5000 this month, mahogany costs $450 per block, and he has already bought 7 blocks of spruce at $200 each. Answer choices:
7
8
11
10

the answer is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount Ted wishes to spend this month is $5000.

Mahogany costs $450 per block, and he has already bought 7 blocks of spruce at $200 each.

So, money spent on spruce =  dollars

Money left after buying spruce =  dollars

Now as $450 will be spent on buying 1 block of mahogany.

So, $3600 will be spent

and then your answer will be 8

step-by-step explanation:

ok so im not 100% sure but you would start by adding 5.1t and 1.9t beacuse they have the same variable. that is 7t.   then add -3.6 + 1.2 which is -2.4

so then keep that as -2.4 + 7t. i apologize if this is incorrect. best luck on your test < 3
