Question

Alex went to the grocery store and bought 5 avocados. He paid $10 and received $4.50 in change. How much did each avocado cost if they are each the same amount?

Answer 1

$1.10

Explanation:

We have been that Alex went to the grocery store and bought 5 avocados. He paid $10 and received $4.50 in change.

First of all, we will find amount paid for 5 avocados by subtracting $4.50 from $10.

`\text{Amount paid for 5 avocados}=\$10-\$4.50`

`\text{Amount paid for 5 avocados}=\$5.50`

Now, we will divide $5.50 by 5 to find cost of each avocado.

`\text{Cost of each avocado}=(\$5.50)/(5)`

`\text{Cost of each avocado}=\$1.10`

Therefore, the cost of each avocado is $1.10.
