Question

Jasmine got a prepaid debit card with $25 on it. For her first purchase with the card, she bought some bulk ribbon at a craft store. The price of the ribbon was 23 cents per yard. If after that purchase there was 19.71 left on the card, how many yards of ribbon did jasmine buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

23 Yards

Step-by-step explanation:

So for this question, we would have to start off with writing an equation: 19.71+0.23x=25 once we subtract 19.71 on both sides, the left over sum of money will be 5.29. Since we are dealing with BOTH Dollars and Cents, it should be remembered to use 23 CENTS instead of Dollars. $\frac{5.29}{0.23}$= 23 so the finals answer is 23 yards.
