Talik was given some pocket money for recess. He realised that if he had spent $0.80 on each meal, he would have 8 meals fewer than if he had spent $0.60 per meal. Talik spent $0.60 on 8 meals and spent $0.80 on the remaining meals. How many meals did the money last him? [4 marks][Answer given: 26 meals]
8 x 0.60 = $4.80
$0.80 - 0.60 = $0.20
4.80/0.20 = 24 meals --- $0.80
24 x 0.80 = $19.20
19.20 - 4.80 = $14.40
14.40/0.80 = 18 meals
18 + 8 = 26 meals
It was 26 meals.
