Question

Emily buys a cage and two bowls for $54. The cage cost 40$. Each bowl cost the same amount. What is the price of one bowl? Explain the steps you used to solve the problem.

Answer 1

$7

Explanation:

a) First let's organize the information:

The cage cost $40

two bowls cost the same

the total was $54

b) Put it as an equation

40+x+x= 54

c) we will subtract 54-40 and get 14

d) divide 14 by 2 and get 7 for the cost of each bowl.
