Question

Omar buys eggs and lemons at the store.

He pays a total of $26.10.
He pays a total of $6.30 for the eggs.
• He buys 6 bags of lemons that each cost the same amount.
How much does each bag of lemons cost?

Answer 1

$3.30 for each bag of lemons

Explanation:

We know that Omar only bought both lemons and eggs. We also know that the total amount of money he spent on groceries is $26.30 and that the eggs are worth $6.30 out of the total.

So, if we can subtract the cost of the eggs from his total cost of groceries to find how much the lemons cost. After that we can divide the cost of all the lemons, which is $19.80, by the number of bags, which is 6, to find how much each bag costs.

(26.10 - 6.30) / 6 = ?

19.8/6 = 3.30

Answer 2

Each bag of lemons cost $3.30

Explanation:

The equation will be

6x = 26.10 - 6.306x=26.10−6.30

Solve for x to get,

6x = 19.86x=19.8

x = 3.3x=3.3
