Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: n ≤ 14Step-by-step explanation: Shirley wants a skateboard that's $64. She has $98. She spent $10.85. She wants to spend some money on a couple cookies $1.65 each. So $1.65* 14= $23.10 23.10+10.85+64= 97.95while $1.65*16= 26.426.4+ 10.85+ 64= 101.25So, it would have to be that n is less than or equal to 14.
