Answer 1

The teacher spend some amount on buying costumes and microphones for 6 cast members.

GiveN:

• Cost of each costume = $38
• Cost of each microphone = $c
• Total money spent = $354

Let's frame the equation. Total money is the total amount spent for 6 cast members.

Money spent on costumes = $38 × 6

Money spent on microphone = $c × 6

Equation:

$6 \times 38 + 6 \times c = 354$

Taking 6 as common,

$6(38 + c) = 354$

Dividing 6 from both sides,

$\dfrac{6(38 + c)}{6} = \dfrac{354}{6}$

$38 + c = 59$

Solving further,

$38 + c - 38 = 59 - 38$

$c = 21$

So, the cost of each microphone = $21

The teacher spent this much on each microphone.
