Donna bought 5 pounds of coffee because she had $53.80 you will subtract that from 90 and you will get 36.20 which means that’s how much she spend and divide that but 7.24 because that’s how much is pound of coffee is and you will receive your answer of how many pounds she bought. Which is 5

Answer: 5 pounds

Explanation:

90 - 53.8 = 36.2

She spent $36.20 on pounds of coffee.

36.2/7.24 = 5

Donna bought 5 pounds of coffee.
