If she used all of her yarn, she'd have 24 pieces. If she wanted 1.25 left, she'd have ten less because 24 • .125 = 8, and 1/4 of eight = 2, and 2 + 8 = 10.
So she'd have 14 pieces.
The way Maria calculates the final price of the book is correct. We know that the book normally sells for $26.50 plus a 10% sales tax. We also know that the students will receive an additional 25% discount. We must understand that the sales tax is applied to the discounted price. So first we will calculate 25% of 26.50 and subtract it from that amount. So the price will then be: (26.50 - 6.625). The price is now $18.34. Then to calculate the tax, it will be (10% * 18.34), so 1.834. We add this amount to the discounted price so: (18.34+1.834) = 20.12.
The final price of the book is $20.12 and Maria can get it and still save a little money
