Answer 1

13.5

Explanation:

12 yards of blue ribbon that costs $2.05 per yard. is 24.6 . She also needs 6 yards of yellow ribbon for $1.85 per yard. is 11.1 24.6-11.1=13.5

Answer 2

2.05 x 12 = 24.6
1.85 x 6 = 11.1
24.6 + 11.1 = 35.7
she gives 40, so now you do 40 - 35.7 = 4.3

$4.30 is the change
