David goes into a candy store with $5.00. he buys 9 peppermints for $0.15 each, and some sour candies. each sour candy costs $0.25. the maximum number of sour candies david can buy =
Step one. $5.00 - 9 peppermints = $5.00 - $1.35 = $3.65 Step two. Figure out how many 25 cents are in $3.65. $3.65 divided by .25 = 14.6 So David can buy 14 sour candies.
