Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Greeting Card = 3.79

Total Cost = 5.11

Post cards = x

Equation

Total Cost = Greeting Card + 4x

Solution

Substitute the gives into the equation

5.11 = 3.79 + 4x                       Subtract 3.79 from both sides

5.11 - 3.79 = 3.79 - 3.79 + 4x  Combine

1.32 = 4x                                  Divide by 4

1.32/4 = 4x/4

x = 33

Each post card costs 0.33 dollars
