Question

Donna received a $90 gift card for a coffee store. She used it in buying some coffee that cost $7.59 per pound. After buying the coffee, she had $59.64 left on her card. How many pounds of coffee did she buy?​

Answer 1

Answer: 4 pounds

Explanation:

First, we will see how much the coffee cost by subtracting what was left by the total gift card.

$90 - $59.64 = $30.36

Now, we will divide how much the coffee cost by how much one pound costs. This will give us how many pounds she bought, and the answer to your problem

$30.36 / $7.59 = 4

She bought four pounds of coffee.
