Alejandro bought $14.65 worth of groceries and paid with a $20 bill. He then went to the hardware store to buy as many fuses as he could with the change. If the fuses cost 35 cents apiece (and he paid no tax), how many fuses did he buy?

Do you even attempt to work it out yourself first?

$20.00 - $14.65 = 5.35
If he buys 15 fuses at 35 cents each
15 x .35 = 5.25
Alejandro is left with ten cents.
He bought fifteen fuses.

Look, kid. Finish your homework and then read a book or something. You need to try to stimulate your imagination.
