Lets find out how many $ does Michelle has left after purchasing paper pins and file covers.
She bought $20 worth of paper pins and $20 worth of file covers. In total that is $40.
If we divide $40 from our total $100, Michelle has 100-40=$60 left
If 1 paper weight costs $10, Michelle can buy 60/10=6 paper weights
