Question

Yolanda got a prepaid debit card with $15 on it. For her first purchase with the card, she bought some bulk ribbon at a craft store. The price of the ribbon was

12 cents per yard. If after that purchase there was $9.48 left on the card, how many yards of ribbon did Yolanda buy?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.49 yards

Step-by-step explanation: First, you do $15-$9.48 to find out how much she spent on the ribbon, which is $5.52. Then, you divide $5.52 by 12 (cents) to figure out how many yards Yolanda could buy with 5.52. 5.52/12=0.49 yards
