Question

Taylor has a $30 gift card that she can spend at the store. She has already bought a $9 picture frame, and she wants to buy $3 journals with the leftover money on the card. How many journals can she buy without going over the cards limit?

Answer 1

She can buy 7 journals.

Explanation:

30 - 9 would equal 21, and so you just keep subtracting 3 until you get to 0 or closest to it

30-9

21

21-3-3-3-3-3-3-3

0

there are 7 threes, therefor equaling 7 journals.
