Lisa Le · Answer 1

12 gold fish

Step-by-step explanation:

1) You have to subtract the total for fish food and 2 angel fish from the $15.00 that she spent.

$15.00-$3.00-$6.00 (2 fish at $3.00 each) = $6.00

2) You have to find out how many fish she could buy for $6.00 if the fish are $0.50 each.

$6.00 / 0.50 = 12 gold fish
