Shirley can buy 6 doughnuts if she wants them all in one carryout box.

To determine the number of doughnuts Shirley can buy, we need to understand the concept of word problems.

What is Word Problems?

Word Problems in Mathematics involves the use of mathematical concepts and understanding in solving real-life cases.

From the parameters given:

  • A doughnut shop charges $0.70 for each doughnut
  • The carryout box also cost $0.30 for each doughnut bought.

Supposed Shirley has $5.00 to spend.

  • For every 0.70 doughnuts Shirley bought, he pay 0.30 for the carryout box.

But, we are told he wants all of it in one carryout box. So, if he first buys 1 doughnut with its carryout box, she has spent $1, leaving her with $4.

Now, we need to divide the remaining $4 with the charges of doughnuts;

i.e.

= $4/$0.7

= 5 doughnuts with a remaining amount of $0.5

Now, the total amount of doughnuts bought is

= (1 + 5) doughnuts

= 6 doughnuts
