taylor has a 30 dollar gift card that she can spend at a store. she has already bought a 9.00 dollar picture frame, and she wants 3.00 journals with the leftover money on the card. how many journals can she buy with her giftcard

Answer 1

First, we need to determine how much money Taylor has left on her gift card after buying the picture frame.

1. Start with the total amount on the gift card: $30.00
2. Subtract the cost of the picture frame: $30.00 - $9.00 = $21.00

Now, Taylor has $21.00 left to spend on journals.

Next, calculate how many journals she can buy with the remaining money. Each journal costs $3.00.

3. Divide the remaining amount by the cost of each journal: \[ \frac{21.00}{3.00} = 7 \]

Therefore, Taylor can buy 7 journals with her gift card.
