    9 tapes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First, subtract the handling charge from his $78.

    78 - 3.50 = 74.5

    So, Brian has $74.50 to purchase tapes. Each tape costs $7.50, so let's find out how many he can purchase.

    74.50 / 7.50 = 9.933 (approximately)

    Since Brian can't buy 0.933 of a tape, he will only be able to buy 9 tapes.
