Solution

To solve this problem, we need to first subtract the shipping cost from the total amount Chris can spend.

  1. Subtract the shipping cost from the total amount Chris can spend: 100100 - 9.99 = $90.01. This is the amount Chris has left to spend on DVDs.

  2. Next, we need to find out how many DVDs Chris can buy with 90.01.Todothis,wedivide90.01. To do this, we divide 90.01 by the cost of one DVD: 90.01÷90.01 ÷ 15.99 = 5.63.

Since Chris can't buy a fraction of a DVD, we round this number down to the nearest whole number.

So, Chris can buy 5 DVDs.
