Answer:

$21

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of each statue = x

Price of 8 statues = 8x

Price of 8 statues plus money left over = 8x + 72

Original amount of money = 240

Equation:

8x + 72 = 240

Subtract 72 from both sides.

8x = 168

Divide both sides by 8.

x = 21

Answer:

$21 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she had $72 left that means that she spent $168 so then you divide that by the 8 identical statues.

$240 - $72 = $168

$168/8 = $21
