Jesse bought a $340 -gram bag of ground coffee. He uses $18.75 grams of ground coffee each day. When there are $40 grams of ground coffee remaining in the bag, Jesse will buy another bag to make sure he doesn't run out of coffee. How many days can he use the $340 -gram bag of ground coffee before he buys a new bag?
To find out how many days Jesse can use the 340-gram bag of ground coffee before buying a new bag, we need to first calculate how much ground coffee he uses each day and then divide it by the remaining grams in the bag.
Jesse uses 18.75 grams of ground coffee each day.
When only 40 grams are left in the bag, he will buy a new bag.
The total amount of ground coffee that he needs to use before buying a new bag is 340 - 40 = 300 grams.
Now, we need to divide the total amount of ground coffee he needs to use (300 grams) by the amount he uses each day (18.75 grams).
300 / 18.75 = 16
Therefore, Jesse can use the 340-gram bag of ground coffee for 16 days before he needs to buy a new bag.
