Michelle has a starting balance on a gift card for $300. She buys several dresses at $40 a piece. After her purchases she has $140 left on the gift card. How many dresses did she buy?
300 - 40x = 140
Solve for x.
is the answer x = 11
x=4 dresses
U divided wrong the answer you should get is x=110 not 11

To find out how many dresses Michelle bought, we need to determine the total cost of the dresses and then divide it by the cost of each dress.
1. Initially, Michelle has a starting balance of $300 on the gift card.
2. She makes several purchases, and after buying the dresses, she has $140 left on the gift card.
3. We can calculate the total cost of the dresses she bought by subtracting the remaining balance from the starting balance:
Total cost of dresses = Starting balance - Remaining balance
= $300 - $140
= $160
4. Now, we divide the total cost of the dresses by the cost of each dress to find out how many dresses she bought:
Number of dresses = Total cost of dresses / Cost per dress
= $160 / $40
= 4
Therefore, Michelle bought 4 dresses.
x =11 dresses
x=11
40x-300=140
