Question

Emelina received a $106 gift card for a coffee shop. She used it to buy bagels that cost $3.02 per pound. Emelina has $76.98 left on the gift card. How many pounds of bagels did Emelina buy? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Emelina bought approximately 9.61 pounds of bagels.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of pounds of bagels Emelina bought, we need to subtract the amount she has left on the gift card from the initial amount and divide by the cost per pound of bagels.

Let's set up the equation:

Total amount on the gift card - Amount left on the gift card = Amount spent on bagels

106 - 76.98 = Amount spent on bagels

29.02 = Amount spent on bagels

Now, we divide the amount spent on bagels by the cost per pound of bagels:

29.02 / 3.02 = 9.61 pounds (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Therefore, Emelina bought approximately 9.61 pounds of bagels.
