Answer:
The maximum number of  square feet Jasmine can purchase is 12 square feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Jasmine has a budget of $600.00 to spend  on home renovations.
She will spend $175.00  on a new sink and the remainder on  countertops.
The countertops cost $35 per  square foot.
Now, to get the maximum number of  square feet Jasmine can purchase.
Now, we find the remainder amount to be spend on countertops:
$600 - $175 = $425.
Remainder amount = $425.
Cost of per square foot countertops = $35.
Now, to get the number of square feet which can purchase with $425:
⇒[tex]\frac{Amount\ to\ be\ spend}{Cost\ of\ per\ square foot}[/tex]
⇒[tex]\frac{425}{35}[/tex]
⇒[tex]12.14\ square\ feet[/tex]
Estimating value = 12 square feet.
Therefore, the maximum number of  square feet Jasmine can purchase is 12 square feet.
