Answer: Jina bought 5 pounds of coffee by spending a total of $38.60.

Explanation:

According to this problem, Jina has an $80 gift card for a coffee store and when she bought some pounds of coffee, she had $41.40 left.

To solve this equation you will need to rephrase this equation to

80 - 41.40 = x

When you subtract the problem, you should get $38.60.

80 - 41.40 = 38.60

Now since Jina bough coffee that costs $7.72 per pound, you will need to divide that by the amount you have just subtracted.

38.60 ÷ 7.72

When you divide "38.60 ÷ 7.72", you should get the number 5.

Therefore, Jina bought 5 pounds worth of coffee, making her total on her gift card $38.60. Hope this helps!
