Question

Keisha received a $90 gift card for a coffee store. She used it in buying some coffee that costs $8.47 per pound. After buying the coffee, she had $47.65 left on her card. How many pounds of coffee did she buy?

Answer 1

Answer: 4

Explanation:

It sounds like you want to know how many pounds of coffee Latoya bought. First, let's figure out how much she spent. Subtract the amount she has left from the amount she started out with:

90 - 57.68 = 32.32

Latoya spent $32.32 on coffee. Since it cost $8.08 per pound, we can divide the total cost by 8.08 to figure out how many pounds she bought:

32.32/8.08 = 4
