I need help with this question i couldn't fit in the title so its in the description.

Question

Karen 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 11 cents per yard. If after that purchase there was $23.68 left on the card, how many yards of ribbon did Karen buy?

Answer 1

We begin with $25 on the debit card, and we are left with $23.68, so we need to find out how much we spent:

25.00 - 23.68 = 1.32, so we spent $1.32 on ribbon.

If each yard costs 11 cents, then we need to divide 1.32 by .11 to get the number of yards of ribbon:

1.32/.11 = 12 yards of ribbon.

Hope this helped!
