Question

taylor has a $30.00 gift card that she can spend at the store. she has already bought a $9.00 picture frame, and she wants to buy $3.00 journals with the leftover money on the card. how many journals can she buy without going over the cards limit?

Answer 1

X _< 7

(This _ is suppose to be under the < ) ^^

Answer 2

Taylor can buy 7 journals without going over the cards limit.

Explanation:

The first step is to subtract what she has already spent from the gift card:

30 - 9 = 21

So now that we have the amount of money that Taylor has available to spend, we need to divide by the cost of a journal to see how many she can buy:

21 / 3 = 7

Our final answer would be 7 journals.
