  1. Explaination:

    First your going to want to multiply the amount of days by how much money a school lunch costs:

    1.80 x 20 = $36

    The next step you will minus the amount spent by the beginning balance on your lunch account:

    42 – 32 = $6

    Then you will want to add the amount of money it costs for a snack untill it adds up high enough where it is close to the amount of money left (or you cant add any more):

    0.85 + 0.85 + 0.85 + 0.85 + 0.85 + 0.85 + 0.85 = $5.95

    You then count the times you added 0.85 which would be 7 times.

    You can also multiply 0.85 by 7 to shorten it up:

    0.85 x 7 = $5.95

    This would leave $0.05 left.
    ______________________
    Final answer:

    After 20 days you would have 7 snacks total.

    I hope this helps you out!
