Question

Christine got a prepaid debit card with $25 on it. For her first purchase with the card, she bought some bulk ribbon at a craft store. The price of the ribbon was 8 cents per yard. If after that purchase there was $21.96 left on the card, how many yards of ribbon did Christine buy?

Answer 1

38 yards

Explanation:

$25- 21.96= 3.04

She spent $3.04 on the ribbon

One yard of ribbon is $0.08

3.04/0.08 = 38

Therefore she bought 38 yards of ribbon
