Question

Jina recieved a $80 gift card for a coffee store. She used it in buying some coffee that cost $8.26 per pound. After buying the coffee, she had $30.44 left on her card. How many pounds of coffee did she buy?

Answer 1

6 pounds of coffee

We can subtract the $30.44 left from $80 to get how much Jina spent. That will get us $49.56.

Now divide the $49.56 by $8.26 to get the number of pounds of coffee. If you do the division, you'll get 6.

Answer 2

That would be 6 pounds of coffee
