Lyla's kite spool had 80 yards of string. She let out 40 feet. Then the kite continued to rise, using another 12 yards of string. How many feet of string were left on the spool? (PLS HELP NOW!!)

Well we know there’s 80 yards total. 40 divided by 3= 13.33 yards. Therefore 13.33+12= 25.33. 80-25.33 = 54.67 yards left, so 54.67 x 3 = 164.01 feet of string left.
