Tonya bought a blanket for $32,53, a flag for $10.25, and a glove for $17.75. She paid $50 and the rest she borrowed from her friend. If Tonya got $9.47 in change from the cashier, how much did
she borrow from her friend to pay for all the items?
Tonya borrowed $_[from her friend to pay for all the items.

It will be $109 that she had borrowed from the friend. :)

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
