Question

Jack bought a magazine for $2 and three erasers. He spent a total of $17. How much did each eraser cost?​

Answer 1

Cost of each earaser $5

Explanation:

Total spent $17

Cost of magazine $2

So cost of 3 earasers = Total cost - cost of magazine

= $17-$2 = $15

Therefore cost of each eraser = $15/3 = $5
