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 8cents per yard. If after that purchase there was $13.48 left on the card, how many yards of ribbon did Latoya buy?

Answer 1

Initialy, Latoya had $15 on his card.

After the purchase, there was $13.48 left on the card.

The price of the ribbon was 8 cents per yard.

In dollars,

$0.08 per yard.

For $0.08, she can buy 1 yard of ribbon.

For $1.52, She can buy,

`(1.52)/(0.08)=19\text{ yards of ribbon}`

Therefore, She bought 19 yards of ribbon.
