\n" ); document.write( "Hats may be ordered from a supplier for $7.50 each or $60 for ten.
\n" ); document.write( "Mrs Smith orders some hats and pays $2685 which includes $300 postage.
\n" ); document.write( "What is the maximum number of hats Mrs Smith should receive?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(the teacher gave this word problem with the answer: 396)\r

\n" ); document.write( "
With $300 for postage, cost of hats = $2,685 – 300, or $2,385
\n" ); document.write( "Obviously, more than 10 were bought, so \"2385%2F60\" = 39 groups of 10, with a remainder of $45.
\n" ); document.write( "With each hat costing $7.50, we get: \"%22%24%2245%2F7.5\", or 6 additional hats
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, 39 groups of 10, or 390, plus 6, for a total of 390 + 6, or \"highlight_green%28396%29\" hats were bought \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
