Question

Charmaine received a $80 gift card for a coffee store. She used it in buying some coffee that cost $7.96 per pound. After buying the coffee, she had $32.24 left on her card. How many pounds of coffee did she buy?

Answers

  1. Step-by-step explanation:
    Algebraic Expression
    Step 1 :- Make an equation
    ⇒ 7.96p + 32.24 = 80
    Step 2:- Calculate for the value of variable
    ⇒ 7.96p + 32.24 = 80
    Substract 32.24 from both sides
    ⇒7.96p + 32.24 – 32.24 = 80 – 32.24
    Calculate
    ⇒7.96p = 47.76
    Divide both sides by 7.96
    ⇒7.96p/7.96 = 47.76/7.96
    Divide
    ⇒p = 6
    Therefore, she bought 6 pounds of coffee
    Have a wonderful and enjoyable day, 🙂
