Keisha got a prepaid debit card with $30 on it. For her first purchase with the card, she bought some bulk ribbon at a craft store. The price of the ribbon was 16 cents per yard. If after that purchase there was $23.92 left on the card, how many yards of ribbon did Keisha buy?

Answer:

38 yards of ribbon

Explanation:

23.92 +.16x = 30

30-23.92 = 6.08

.16x =6.08

6.08/.16 = x

x =38 yards
