The athletic department raised $14,500 to buy new football uniforms. If each uniform costs $258, how many uniforms can they buy? Explain how you interpreted the remainder and the steps you did to get your answer.
Divide money available by the cost of each uniform......so
14,500 / 258 = 56.2 uniforms.....but........since we can't purchase .2 of a uniform.....call it 56 uniforms
