Question

Jenny received a $70 gift card for a coffee store. She used it in buying some coffee that cost $8.01 per pound. After buying the coffee, she had $45.97 left on her card. How many pounds of coffee did she buy?

Answer 1

3 pounds of coffee

Explanation:

First you have to find how much Jenny spent on coffee.

To find this out subtract 70 by 45.97.

So, 70 - 45.97 = $24.03

Now you have to find how many pounds of coffee she bought, so to find this out you have to divide 24.03 by 8.01.

So, 24.03 divided by 8.01 = 3 pounds of coffee.
