Answer 1

Answer:

Cost for White ribbon are $0.166 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\textrm{Cost of each Red ribbon} = 9$

$\textrm{Number of Red ribbon} = 3$

$\textrm{Total Cost of Red ribbon} = 9 \times3 = 27$

$\textrm {Cost of each white ribbon}=x$

$\textrm{Number of White ribbon} = 6$

$\textrm{Total Cost of white ribbon} =6x$

$\textrm{Total Money Spent} = 28$

$\textrm{Total Money Spent} = \textrm{Total cost of red ribbon}+ \textrm{Total cost of white ribbon}$

$28=27+6x$

$6x= 28-27$

$6x=1$

$x=\frac{1}{6}$

$x=0.166$
