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?

Respuesta :

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, :-)
