Question

Helena had a balance of $14.48 left on a gift card. She bought a muffin each for her, and five of her friends. The cost of each muffin was $1.02.

Answer 1

She spent $6.12 on the muffins for her and her friends, and she has $8.36 left on her gift card. By multiplying 6 by $1.02, you get the amount she spent, and by subtracting $14.48 by $6.12, I find how much she has left on her gift card.
