Jessica received a $70 gift card for a coffee store. She used it in buying some coffee that cost $7.26 per pound. After buying the coffee, she had $48.22 left on her card. How many pounds of coffee did she buy?

70 - 48.22 = 21.78
7.26 x 1 = 7.26
7.26 x 2 = 14.42
7.26 x 3 = 21.78
therefore she bought 3 pounds of coffee
