Teresa received a $90 gift card for a coffee store. She used it buying some coffee that cost $8.59 per pound. After buying the coffee, she had $38.46 left on her card. How many pounds of coffee did she buy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

6 pounds of coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Teresa's $90 gift card for a coffee store, and a balance of $38.46 on her card:

Subtract the remaining balance of $38.46 from the $90 original balance on Teresa's card, to determine how much she spent on coffee.

$90.00 - $38.46 = $51.54

Next, divide the amount that she spent at the coffee store by the $8.59 cost per pound to find out how many pounds of coffee she purchased from the store:

$51.54 ÷  $8.59 per pound = 6 pounds

Therefore, she bought 6 pounds of coffee worth $51.54 from the store.
