Answer 1

Answer:

She will be able to purchase seven journals

Step-by-step explanation:

This solution can be found using this equations

30 - 9 = 21

21/3 = 7

She will have no money left over

Answer 2

Answer:

She can buy 7 journals.

Step-by-step explanation:

30 - 9 would equal 21, and so you just keep subtracting 3 until you get to 0 or closest to it

30-9

21

21-3-3-3-3-3-3-3

0

there are 7 threes, therefor equaling 7 journals.
