Andrew brings $5 to the grocery store to buy candy and gum. Candy costs $0.75 apiece and gum costs $1.25 per pack. What's the maximum number of packs of gum Andrew can buy if he buys at least 2 pieces of candy?

If Andrew purchases 2 pieces of candy, he will have $5 - 2 x $0.75 = $3.50 remaining. Therefore, 3.50/1.25=14/5=2.8 packs of gum is then all he can afford to purchase. Since a fraction/decimal number of packs of gum is impossible to buy, Andrew can only buy 2 packs of gum.
