We want to know how many yards of ribbon did Jenny buy, we will find that she bought 13 yards of ribbon.

Finding the equation to solve:

So we know that she has $15 in her card, and after the purchase, she has $13.18.

Then the cost of the ribbon was $15 - $13.18 = $1.82

Knowing that the price per yard of ribbon is $0.14, the number of yards of ribbon bought is just:

$1.82/$0.14 = x

This is the equation we need to solve, taking that quotient we get:

$1.82/$0.14 = x = 13

This means that she bought 13 yards of ribbon.
