Answer:

Your question does not make much sense but that was only because you were missing one variable which was 4.25 which was what you picked up on Saturday. but anyways you just add 7.75 and 4.25 and you'd end up with 12 so she has 12 pints of the blueberries she needs and to find out the remanding you just subtract from the 20.5 but its better to look at it like 20.50 because that's what it is and then you subtract 12 from 20.50 and you are left with 8.50.

Your answer is 8.5
