Question

Molly also buys a bag of 8 apples for 3.60.Write and solve an equation to find how much molly paid for each apple.

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Molly paid $3.60 for 8 apples, that means that $3.60 is consisted of 8 equal prices (each price is equal to the cost of one apple). From here we can make an equation.

Let "a" be the price of one apple, then

8a = $3.60

8a / 8 = $3.60

a = $0.45

Now we know that Molly paid $0.45 for each apple in the bag.
