Jane is selling handmade hair bows for $5.25 each. A woman came by to buy some for the girls in her daughter's girl scout troop. She spent $84. How many hairbows did she buy?

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Jane is selling handmade bows at $5.25 each

A woman came and spent $84 buying bows

Therefore the number of bows bought by the woman can be calculated as follows

= 84/5.25

= 16

Hence the woman bought 16 bows

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
