A store is selling ribbon by the yard night bought 8 yards of red ribbon every yard cost $3.50 complete and solve the working equation that represents the amount which is a that might pay for buying 8 yards of ribbon so what is a over eight equals and then we have a equals how many dollars
Let's represent the amount "a" that might pay for buying 8 yards of ribbon. Since each yard of ribbon costs $3.50, the equation for the total amount paid can be written as:
a = 8 * 3.50
Simplifying the equation:
a = 28
Therefore, "a" equals $28.
