Respuesta :
I believe that A is the correct answer because this is how I would normally solve the equation. X representing the unknown cost of each bag of potatoes.
Answer:
x = (25.92 – 2.57) = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Bob bought eggs and potatoes at a store.
He pays a total of $25.92 for both the egg and potatoes
He pays $2.57 for the eggs.
He buys 5 bags of potatoes that each cost same amount. The equation that can be used to determine the cost of x, of each bag of potatoes can be calculated as follows:
Let
number bag of potatoes = x
The cost of the whole potatoes he bought = $(25.92 - 2.57)
The cost of the whole potatoes he bought = $23.35
The cost of 1 bag of potatoes(x) = (25.92 - 2.57)/5
x = (25.92 - 2.57)/5
it is same as
x = (25.92 – 2.57) = 5
