Question 13 • Algebra 2 with Probability

Used books cost 2 point 2 5 dollars each. Which expression represents the total number of books that can be purchased for 10 dollars ?

Answer
A
the fraction with numerator 10 and denominator lfloor 2 point 2 5 rfloor
B
the fraction with numerator 10 and denominator lceil 2 point 2 5 rceil
C
lceil 10 over 2 point 2 5 rceil
D
lfloor 10 over 2 point 2 5 rfloor

Explanation

Divide the $10 budget by the cost of each book: 10 ÷ 2.25 ≈ 4.44. Since you can buy only a whole number of books and cannot spend more than $10, round down to 4. The expression is ⌊10 ÷ 2.25⌋, choice D.
