Problem
Ike and Mike go into a sandwich shop with a total of 
to spend. Sandwiches cost 
each and soft drinks cost 
each. Ike and Mike plan to buy as many sandwiches as they can,
and use any remaining money to buy soft drinks. Counting both sandwiches and soft drinks, how
many items will they buy?
Solution 1
We know that the sandwiches cost 
dollars. Guessing will bring us to multiplying by 6, which gives us 
. Since they can spend 
they have 
dollars left. Since soft drinks cost 
dollar each, they can buy 3 soft drinks, which makes them spend Since they bought 6 sandwiches and 3 soft drinks, they bought a total of 
items. Therefore, the answer is 
.
- SBose
Solution 2 (Using Algebra)
Let 
be the number of sandwiches and 
be the number of sodas. We have to satisfy the equation of
![\[4.50s+d=30\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/c/8/9c8e776fe1543c6342e6785f6d11ae6e2cc34420.png)
In the question, it states that Ike and Mike buys as many sandwiches as possible.
So, we drop the number of sodas for a while.
We have:
We don't want a remainder so the maximum number of sandwiches is 
.
The total money spent is 
.
The number of dollar left to spent on sodas is 
dollars.
dollars can buy sodas leading us to a total of
items.
Hence, the answer is .
