Lizzy: Lyle wants to buy himself and his friends a sandwich and a pack of juice. A sandwich costs $0.30 while a pack of juice costs $0.2. If Lyle has $2.50, how many of his friends can have a sandwich and a pack of juice?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
User
A sandwich and a pack of juice cost $0.3 + $0.2 = $0.50. With Lyle's $2.50, he can buy $2.50 / $0.50 = 5 sets of sandwiches and juice. Therefore, 5 - 1 = 4 of his friends can have a sandwich and a pack of juice since the other 1 set is for Lyle himself. Final answer: 4.
