Solution

Step 1 :First, we need to find out how much money Salma spent on coffee. We can do this by subtracting the amount left on her card from the initial amount on the card. So, \(90 - 37.68 = 52.32\). Salma spent \(\$52.32\) on coffee.

Step 2 :Next, we can find out how many pounds of coffee she bought by dividing the amount she spent on coffee by the cost per pound of coffee. So, \(\frac{52.32}{8.72} = 6\).

Step 3 :Final Answer: Salma bought \(\boxed{6}\) pounds of coffee.
