Steve went to the hardware store with $40 he purchased and wrench for $8.75 and a screwdriver for $5.03 he wants to purchase some nails at $0.10 apiece and most how many nails can he purchased

262 nails

x < or = 262 (i don't have the less than or equal to symbol)

Step-by-step explanation:

$8.75 + $5.03 = $13.78

$40.00 - $13.78 = $26.22

Steve so far has spent $13.78 and has $26.22 left to spend on nails.

$26.22 / $0.10 = 262.2

Therefore, Steve can purchase 262 nails with $0.02 change

262.2 nails (262)

Step-by-step explanation:

40 - 8.75 = 31.25

31.25 - 5.03 = 26.22

26.22 divided by. 10 = 262.2
