Tina spends $50.86 at the craft store. She buys 5 yards of fabric at $8.98 per yard and 2 spools of thread. What is the price of one spool of thread?

Sagot :

She spends $50.86.
Cost for 1 yard of fabric is $8.98.
So to find the the cost of 5 yards of fabric, multiply $8.98 x 5 = $44.9. Therefore for the 5 yards of fabric she paid $44.9.

To find how much she paid for 2 spools of thread subtract the amount she spent at the craft store and the cost for the 5 yards of fabric.
&50.86 - $44.9 = $5.96.
Therefore the cost of 2 spool of thread is $5.96 / 2 = $2.98

Therefore the cost of 1 spool of thread is $2.98.



To check if it’s correct just add the cost of the 5 yards of fabric and the 2 spools of thread.
$44.9 + $5.96 = $50.86
