Question

ken paid $12 for two magazines. The cost of each magazine was a multiple of $3. What are the possible prices of the magazines?

Answer 1

Well
`(12 dollars)/(2 magazines)` is $6 per magazine and 6 is a multiple of 3, so that's a possibility.

Answer 2

You can divide 12 by 2, and you'll get 6. 6 is also a multiple of 3. So $6 is the price of each magazine.

Hope it helped!
