Question

a nursery owner buys 9 panes of glass to fix so e damage to her greenhouse. the 9 planes cost 25.65. Unfortunately, she breaks 4 more planes while repairing the damage. what is the cost of another 4 panes of glass.

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

Number of panes of glass = 9

Cost = $25.65

Break = 4 panes

Let's call x to the cost of each pane:

9x = 25.65

Dividing both sides by 9:

x= 25.65/9

Simplifying:

x= 2.85

Now, multiplying the cost of each pane by the number of the others 4 panes:

2.85*4 = 11.4

The cost is $11.4
