Answer:

Each package of strawberries is $4.00 each.

Explanation:

Well, Nico spends a total of $27.00 at the grocery store. If he already spent $10.00 on pizza and $5.00 on granola. That adds up to $15.00 already spent. He has $12.00 left. Correct? If he buys 3 packages of strawberries, thats 12/3. 12 divided by 3 is 4. So Nico spent $4.00 on each package of strawberries.

Answer:

$4 (a)

Explanation:

First remove the prices of the total we are given so the $10 and the $5 from the total price which is $27.

This leaves us with 12 dollars. That is how much Nico spend in the 3 packages of strawberries.

Now we want the price of each so divide $12 by 3 packages which gives us $4 per package.
