Question

Latoya 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 17

cents per yard. If after that purchase there was $8.88 left on the card, how many yards of ribbon did Latoya buy?

Answer 1

Answer: 36 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine how much was spent.

15-8.88= $6.12

Each yard was 17 cents and $6.12 was spent.

6.12/.17= 36

(Amount spent/Cost per yard)= Amount of ribbon (in yards)

36 yards
