Question

Raina received a $90 gift card for a coffee store. She used it in buying some coffee that's cost $7.38 per pound. After buying the coffee, she had $53.10 left on her card. How many pounds of coffee did she buy?

Answer 1

5 lbs

Explanation:

90 - 53.10 = 36.90

She spent $36.90 on coffee. Since it cost $7.38 per pound, we can divide the total cost by 7.38 to figure out how many pounds she bought:

36.90 / 7.38 = 5

Raina bought 5 pounds of coffee.
