Laura had $80 to spend at the book fair. Each book at the book fair costs $12, and each bookmark costs $1.50. After buying as many books as she can with her $80, what is the greatest number of bookmarks that Laura can buy?
(5 bookmarks) Solution: Laura had $80 to spend at the book fair, and each book at the fair costs $12. $80/$12=6 with a remainder of $8. This tells us that she can buy a maximum of 6 books, and she will have $8 remaining. Each bookmark costs $1.50. To find out how many bookmarks Laura can purchase with the remaining $8, we divide $8 by $1.50. $8/$1.50, we get a quotient of 5 and a remainder of $0.50. Therefore, Laura can buy 5 bookmarks (with $0.50 remaining).
