Question

Amy received a S 70 gift card for a coffee store. She used it in buying some coffee that cost $8.24 per pound. After buying the coffee, she had $20.56 left on her card. How many pounds of coffee did she buy?

Answer 1

We first need to calculate how much money Amy spent on coffee. Since she had a $70 gift card and had $20.56 remaining after purchasing coffee, she spent $70 - $20.56 = $49.44 on coffee.

Next, we can determine how many pounds of coffee she bought. Since the cost of the coffee was $8.24 per pound, we can set up an equation:

$8.24/pound × pounds of coffee = $49.44

Solving for pounds, we can divide both sides of the equation by $8.24 to get:

pounds of coffee = $49.44 ÷ $8.24 = 6

Therefore, Amy bought 6 pounds of coffee with her gift card

Answer 2

Answer: 6 pounds of coffee

Step-by-step explanation: 70.00 - 20.56 = 49.44(how much the person spent). then take 49.44 and divide that by the price per pound 8.24. you will get an even answer of 6 pounds.
