Question

Tammy received a $70 gift card for a coffee store. She used it in buying some coffee that cost $8.41 per pound. After buying the coffee, she had $19.54 left on her card. How many pounds of coffee did she buy?

Answer 1

Total money Tammy has = $70

Money she is left with now = $19.54

Therefore, the money she used on coffee =

70 - 19.54 = $50.46

Now,

1 pound coffee costs $8.41

Pounds of coffee she bought = 50.46 ÷ 8.41

= 6 pounds
