Please, find attached the picture with the grid and the complete question.
Answer:
Explanation:
The <em>decimal grid</em> consists in 10 rows and 10 columns of squares. Thus, there are 10 × 10 = 100 squares.
Therefore, each sequare represents 1/100 of the total.
Four squares are not shaded, thus <em>96 squares are shaded</em>, which represents 96/100 of the total.
Since, <em>the shaded part represents the part of $1.00 that she has remaining</em>, that is 96/100 × $1.00 = $0.96.
So far, you have determined that <em>Kia</em> has $0.96 after purchasing her books.
<em>Kia decides to give all the money she has remaining to her 3 friends</em> split in equal parts. That means that each friend will receive $ 0.96/3 = $0.32.
The <em>bookmarks cost $0.10 each</em>, thus to find the <em>greatest number of bookmarks</em> each of her friends can buy, you must divide the money by the price of each bookmark:
- $0.32/($0.10/bookmark) = 3.2 bookmark.
Since, the bookmarks are whole pieces, <em>the greatest number each friend can buy </em>is 3<em>.</em>
