Amy got a prepaid debit card with $20 on it. For her first purchase with the card, she bought some bulk ribbon at a craft store. The price of the ribbon was 19 cents per yard. If after that purchase there was $16.77 left on the card, how many yards of ribbon did Amy buy? pls answer this!

Answer:

price for one ribbon =19 cents

she got $20

20- 16.77 the rest from the money = 3.23

so she spends 3.23 from buying the ribbon

how much ribbon does she buy

3.23 ÷ 0.19= 17 ribbons
