To find the total amount \( a \) that Mike paid for buying 8 yards of red ribbon at a cost of $3.50 per yard, you can use the equation:
\[
a = \text{(cost per yard)} \times \text{(number of yards)}
\]
In this case:
\[
a = 3.50 \times 8
\]
Now, calculate the total amount:
\[
a = 3.50 \times 8 = 28.00
\]
Thus, the amount \( a \) that Mike paid for buying 8 yards of ribbon is:
\[
\boxed{28.00}
\]
\[
a = \text{(cost per yard)} \times \text{(number of yards)}
\]
In this case:
\[
a = 3.50 \times 8
\]
Now, calculate the total amount:
\[
a = 3.50 \times 8 = 28.00
\]
Thus, the amount \( a \) that Mike paid for buying 8 yards of ribbon is:
\[
\boxed{28.00}
\]
