Given:

Sara has $900 in her savings account

She buys a tablet for $200.

Now the remaining amount is $900-$200=$700.

Let x be the number of times she withdraws $60.

she withdraws money for food until there is less than $300

[tex]60x=700-300[/tex]

[tex]60x=400[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 60, we get

[tex]\frac{60x}{60}=\frac{400}{60}[/tex][tex]x=6.67[/tex]

Round off, we get x=7.

Sara can withdraw 7 times for food.
