  1. The possible number of ornaments would be 6.
    I multiplied 8.5 against random numbers. Guess and check. So the number I came up with was 5 but that is 42.5 which is under 46. so I added another 8.50 just to get it barely above the limit to get a positive sale. That a total of $51 which is 6 ornaments.

  3. The possible number of ornaments is 6. 8.50 times 5 is 42.50 then I added another 8.50 and got 51.06. The cost is $51.06 and the amount of ornaments are 6.

  4. The number of ornaments would be 6. when you multiple 8.5 against random numbers. The number you come up with is 5 but that is 42.5 which is under 46. so you add another 8 to get a positive sale. The total is $51 which equals 6 ornaments

  7. The total number of ornaments would be six (6). I had multiplied 8.5 by 5 and I had gotten 42.50. Then I had added 8 dollars and 50 cents (8.50). I had gotten 51 dollars and 6 cents. (51.06) . The total would be 51 dollars in total. This is how I had gotten 6 ornaments.

  12. The total number of ornaments she can sell is 6. I multiplied 8.50 by 5 and got 42.50. I then added 8.50 again to get $51. She needs to sell at least 6 ornaments to make a profit.

    I multiplied 8.5 to numbers that came to head. I guessed and checked. So the number I came up with was 5 but that was 42.5 which is under 46. so I put another 8.50 just to get it barely above the limit to get a positive sale. That a total of $51.06 which is 6 ornaments.

  19. The possible number of ornaments would be 6. I got my answer by multiplying 8.50 and 5 I got 42.56. But 42.56 is lower than 46, so you add 8 and that equals 51.06. 51.06 equals 6 ornaments.

  20. The possible number of ornaments would be 6. If you divide 46 by 8.50 you'd get a mixed number so you round it to 5. 8.50 multiplied by 5 is 42.50. Since that is lower than 46, add another ornament. 42.50 plus 8.50 is 51 dollars, which is 5 dollars more than the original amount. Therefore 6 ornaments would be enough.

  26. The most possible number would be 5. Because if u multiplied 8.5 by 5 and ended up with 42.56. 46 is higher than 42.56, so you add 8 and that equals 51.06. 51.06 equals 6 ornaments.

  27. The number of ornaments would be 6.First you multiply 8.50 by 5.The number you come up with 42.5 which is under 46. Then you add another 8 to get a positive sale. The total is $51 which equals 6 ornaments.
