To represent the amount \( a \) that Mike paid for buying 8 yards of ribbon, we can set up the following equation:

\[
a = \text{(cost per yard)} \times \text{(number of yards)}
\]

Given that the cost per yard is $3.50 and Mike bought 8 yards, the equation becomes:

\[
a = 3.50 \times 8
\]

Now, let's calculate the total amount:

\[
a = 3.50 \times 8 = 28
\]

Therefore, the completed working equation is:

\[
a = 3.50 \times 8
\]

And the amount that Mike paid is:

\[
a = 28 \text{ dollars}
\]
