12

Explanation:

Answer 2

Alright! First you'd have to subtract the flat fee of the mug which is $8.95, then you'd have to divide by the rate which is $1.50. Your equation would be:

(26.95 - 8.95) ÷ 1.50 = r

Then you solve using your head.. lol.

(26.95 - 8.95) = 18.

(18 ÷ 1.50) = 12.

R = 12.
