Question

you bought a magazine for $5 and four erasers. you spent a total of $25. how much did the eraser cost?

Answer 1

Erasers are $5 each

Total= $25- $5 magazine leaves you with $20. You bought 4 erasers so you do 20/4 which is $5

Answer 2

• 1 eraser = $5
• 4 erasers = $20

Explanation:

Given that,

→ Magazine = $5

→ Total cost = $25

→ 1 eraser = x

The equation will be,

→ 4x + 5 = 25

Now the value of x will be,

→ 4x + 5 = 25

→ 4x = 25 - 5

→ x = 20/4

→ [ x = $5 ]

Hence, value of x is $5.
