Question

Haley is at the store buying some supplies for an art project. She decides to buy some colored pencils for $3.95 and a drawing tablet. The total cost of the supplies before sales tax is $6.94. What is the cost of the drawing tablet? $2.99 $1.76 $10.89 $3.01

Answer 1

Its $2.99 because 6.94-3.95=2.99 so $2.99

Answer 2

Answer:

$2.99

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of the drawing tablet, we can use the known total cost and the cost of the pencils.  Let's build an equation, where x represents the cost of the drawing tablet:

x + 3.95 = 6.94

Now let's solve the equation for x to find the cost of the tablet.

x + 3.95 = 6.94

x + 3.95 - 3.95 = 6.94 - 3.95

x = 2.99

So the cost of the drawing tablet is $2.99.

Cheers.
