40% of 80 = 0.40 x 80 = 32
20% of 90 = 0.2 x 90 = 18
32 + 18 = 50
40% of 80 = 0.40 x 80 = 32
20% of 90 = 0.2 x 90 = 18
32 + 18 = 50
Ayana wants to buy as many bags of mulch as possible with her $305, and she would like them to be delivered to her house. The cost is $8.00 per bag and there is a $21.00 delivery charge. The mulch is only sold in full bags. How many bags can Ayana buy?

1/4 = 2/8
7/8 + 2/8 = 9/8
16/8 - 9/8 = 7/8
1/4 = 2/8
7/8 + 2/8 = 9/8
16/8 - 9/8 = 7/8

6% of 50 = 0.6 x 50 = $3 OR 6% of $100 is $6, so half of that is $3
$50 + $3 = $53
$60 - $53 = $7
6% of 50 = 0.6 x 50 = $3 OR 6% of $100 is $6, so half of that is $3
$50 + $3 = $53
$60 - $53 = $7

75 = (50 + 52 + 77 + 88 + 91 + x) ÷ 6
75 = (358 + x) ÷ 6
450 = 358 + x
x = 92
75 = (50 + 52 + 77 + 88 + 91 + x) ÷ 6
75 = (358 + x) ÷ 6
450 = 358 + x
x = 92
