Question

Ciara brought $240.00 to spend on gigts for her family. She found 8 identical statures at a gift shop. She had $72 leftover. how much did each statue cost?

Answer 1

statues+72=240
minus 72 both sides
statues=168
168=8statutes
assuming they cost the same
divide both sides by 8
21=1statue

each costs $21
