I'm happy to help you today!

41 yards is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. The information we have is:

Originally Jane had $25 on her debit card.

She made a purchase of bulk ribbon for 21 cents per yard.

And after that she ended up with $16.39 on the card.

Step 2. Make an equation to describe the situation.

The equation that describes this situation is:

Where 25 is the initial amount and to that, we subtract 0.21y, where y is the number of yards that she bought of ribbon. And all of this has to be equal to the final amount of 16.39.

Step 3. Solve the equation for y:

To solve for y, we subtract 25 to both sides of the equation:

⇒

⇒

Then, divide both sides of the equation by -0.21:

The result is:

The answer is 41 yards of ribbon.

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
