If these items cost a total of $6.45, what was the cost of each notebook?
O A. $1.20
B. $1.26
O c. $1.29
OD. $1.38

Answer 1

i think the answer is a: $1.20

my work:

3 x 0.15 = 0.45.

6.45 - 0.45 = 6.00

6.00 / 5 = 1.20

and i checked my work by doing 1.20 x 5 + 0.40 = $6.45.

Answer 2

The answer is A

Explanation:

Fist multiply 3 and .15 to get .45 for 3 pencils. Then subtract .45 from 6.45 and get 6. Then divided 6 by 5 to get 1.2 for each book
