Question

3. Taylor has a $30.00 gift card that she can spend at the store. She has already bought a $9.00 picture frame, and she wants to buy $3.00 journals with the leftover money on the card. How many journals can she buy with her gift card?

Answer 1

After purchasing a $9.00 picture frame, Taylor can use her $30.00 gift card to buy 7 journals at $3.00 each with the remaining balance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taylor has a $30.00 gift card and after purchasing a $9.00 picture frame, she wants to know how many $3.00 journals she can buy with the remaining balance. To solve this, we first need to subtract the cost of the picture frame from the total value of the gift card:

• Total value of gift card: $30.00
• Cost of picture frame: $9.00
• Remaining balance: $30.00 - $9.00 = $21.00

Now, we divide the remaining balance by the cost of one journal to find the number of journals she can buy:

• Cost of one journal: $3.00
• Number of journals: $21.00 / $3.00 = 7 journals

Taylor can buy 7 journals with her gift card after purchasing the picture frame.
