Question

Mark bought a set of 6 flower pots of different sizes at a total cost of $8.25. each pot cost $0.25 more than the next one below it in size. what was the cost, in dollars, of the largest pot?

Answer 1

1. Do 8.25-3.75=4.5 because 3.75 is the total amount added onto the price of the flower pots from the base price
2. Do 4.5/6=.75 because you have 6 of the base price added into the total cost
3. Do .75+1.25=2 because of the .25 added with every pot
So the price of the largest pot is 2
