Answer:

each bottle of nail polish costs $4.

Explanation:

Let's use "x" to represent the cost of each bottle of nail polish.

According to the problem, Sophia bought 4 bottles of nail polish and a magazine for $10, which means the cost of the nail polish was (26 - 10) = $16.

So we can set up an equation:

4x = 16

To solve for x, we can divide both sides by 4:

x = 4

Therefore, each bottle of nail polish costs $4.
