Question

Bob buys eggs and potatoes at a store

He pays a total of $25.92
He pays $2.57 for the eggs
He buys 5 have of potatoes that each cost the same amount

Such equation can be used to determine the cost of, X, or each hay of potatoes

Answer 1

Each potato cost $4.67

Explanation:

$25.92-$2.57=$23.35

$23.35/5 =$4.67

Answer 2

A. x= (25.92 - 2.57) ÷ 5

Explanation:

If you were to do (25.92 - 2.57) you get 23.35.

Then you must do 23.35 ÷ 5 and you get 4.67.

If you want to confirm the answer just do it all backward like

4.67 x 5 = 23.35

23.35 + 2.57 = 25.92

Hope this helped :)
