If hardback books are 50 cents, and soft back books are 25 cents and I used 5.75, and I got 17 books, then what would the highest amount of softback books could I get, and the lowest amount of hardback books could I get?

Is this homework? Something's missing -- how much do you have to spend....

Because this is schoolwork, we ask that you show your work or explain where you are having problems. We can give you guidance, but we will not do the work for you.

So what answer have you gotten?
