A store is selling ribbon by the yard Mike bought 8 yards of red ribbon Each yard cost $3:50. Complete and solve the working equations that represents the amount, Mko paid for buying 8 yards of ribbon (1 point)
a/8 = [__]
a = [__] (DO NOT PUT 28 IDIOT.)
a) The equation representing the amount Mike paid for buying 8 yards of ribbon is:
Total amount paid = Cost per yard * Number of yards
Let a be the amount Mike paid.
We know that the cost per yard is $3.50 and he bought 8 yards, so the equation becomes:
a/8 = $3.50
b) To solve the equation for a, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 8:
8 * (a/8) = 8 * $3.50
a = $28 (This is the correct answer)
