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 equation that represents the amount, a , Mike paid for buying 8 yards of ribbon.(1 point) a8=
a8= 8 * 3.50
a8= 28.00
The equation that represents the amount, a, Mike paid for buying 8 yards of ribbon is:
a = 8 * 3.50
Solving the equation:
a = 28
So, Mike paid $28 for buying 8 yards of ribbon.
To find the amount Mike paid for buying 8 yards of ribbon, we need to multiply the number of yards by the cost per yard.
Let's represent the amount Mike paid as 'a', the number of yards as '8', and the cost per yard as '$3.50'.
The working equation becomes:
a = 8 * $3.50
Now we can solve for 'a':
a = 8 * 3.50
a = $<<8*3.50=28.00>>28.00
Therefore, Mike paid $28.00 for buying 8 yards of ribbon.
