Answer 2

She got 12 refills.

Explanation:

To find the number of refills, first determine the amount she spent on refills. We can find this by subtracting the cost of the mug from her overall expenses.

$26.95 - $8.95 = $18.00

Now we divide the amount she spent on the refills by the cost per refill to get the amount of times.

$18.00/$1.50 = 12 times
