Question

Ann got a prepaid debit card with $15 on it. For her first purchase with the card, she bought some bulk ribbons at a craft store. The price of the ribbon was 17 cents per yard. If after that purchase there was $10.41 left on the card, how many yards of ribbon did Ann buy?

Answer 1

Since the price of the ribbon is 17 cents per yards, the number of yards of ribbon Ann bought is 27 yards.

How to find the length(yard) from the cost(dollars)

She has 15 dollars in her debit card.

She bought bulk ribbons at a craft store.

The price of the ribbon is 17 cents per yards. Therefore,

17 cents = 0.17 dollars

Hence,

Amount debited from her account  = 15  - 10.41 = $4.59

Therefore, she spent a total of $4.59 .

The yards of ribbon bought = 4.59 / 0.17

The yards of ribbon bought = 27

Therefore, Ann bought 27 yards of bulk ribbon.
