Answer :
Let's break down the problem step by step:
1. Tory starts with $70.
2. She spends $14.25 per DVD on three Star Wars episode movies.
3. She needs to set aside $15 for another episode.
4. She wants to buy boxes of Sour Patch Kids that cost $1.25 each.
First, calculate how much Tory spends on the DVDs:
[tex]\[ \text{Total cost for DVDs} = 14.25 \times 3 = 42.75 \][/tex]
Subtract the cost of the DVDs from her initial amount:
[tex]\[ 70 - 42.75 = 27.25 \][/tex]
Next, she needs to set aside $15 for another episode:
[tex]\[ 27.25 - 15 = 12.25 \][/tex]
Finally, calculate how many boxes of Sour Patch Kids she can buy with the remaining money:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of boxes} = \frac{12.25}{1.25} = 9.8 \][/tex]
Since she can only buy whole boxes, Tory can buy 9 boxes of Sour Patch Kids.
Given the choices, the answer is:
- Pick two: 9
