Question

6) Jennifer bought a magazine for $3 and

eight erasers. She spent a total of $43.
How much did each eraser cost?

Answer 1

Each eraser is $5.

Explanation:

43-3 = 40,

40 divided by 8 is 5

so each eraser is $5

Answer 2

Subtract the cost of the magazine to the total cost.

43 - 3 = $40 spent on erasers.

Divide by the amount of erasers.

40 / 8 = 5 erasers

Hence, Jennifer bought 8 erasers for $5 each.

Best of Luck!
