Question

Sam received a $83 gift card for a coffee shop. Sam used it to buy bagels that cost $3.73 per pound. Sam has $75.49 left on the gift card. How many pounds of bagels did Sam buy? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

2 pounds

Explanation:

$75.49 + $3.73p = $83.00

Subtract $75.49 from both sides

83.00 - 75.49 = 7.51

Divide $3.73 on both sides

7.51/3.73

p=2.01

Round to 2 pounds
