Answer 1

The cost for 2 more glass panes is $4.70

Explanation:

1. Fist divide 11.75 by 5 to find out how much one pane costs, you should get 2.35.

2. Next multiply 2.35 by 2 to find out how much it is for 2 more glass panes.

Then you will get our answer ($4.70)

Cost of single pane = 11.75 / 5 = $2.35

Cost of 2 extra panes = 2*2.35 =$4. 7
