Question

A school paid $45.00 for 8 toothbrushes and 4 tubes of toothpaste. If each tube of toothpaste cost $4.50, how much did each toothbrush cost? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.38

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is 45= 8x + 4t. Each tube of toothpaste is 4.50, so times four is 18. So they spent 18 dollars on toothpaste, and the rest on toothbrushes. There are 27 dollars left, and 8 toothbrushes, so divide and each toothbrush is $3.375, or $3.38

Answer 2

Answer:

$3.38  PLEASE GIVE BRAINLIEST

Step-by-step explanation:

4.50(4) + 8x = $45.00

$18 + 8x = 45.00

8x = 45 - 18

8x = 27

x = 27 ÷ 8

x = 3.375 rounded to nearest cent is $3.38
