Question

Elaine has a $25 gift card. She uses the card each

month to purchase a magazine for $3.50 at the
bookstore. How much money will Elaine have
remaining on her gift card after 7 months?

Answer 1

0.5

Explanation:

Well lets start with a basic equation.

$25=3.50(7)

25= 24.5 multiply 3.50 and 7

25-24.5=0.5 subtract the total from the whole

After using the card for 7 months she will have 5 cents left on her card.

Answer 2

$0.50

Explanation:

multiply 3.50 by 7 and you get 24.5. $25.00-$24.50= $0.50
