Question

Joe went to the hobby shop and bought 2 model sports cars and spent$8.95 each on some paints. If he spent a total of $23.65, what was the costof each model car?*

Answer 1

Step 1

Find the cost of the 2 model cars

Total cost of two model cars and paint = $23.65

Cost of some paint = $8.95

Cost of 2 model cars = $23.65 - $8.95

= $14.7

Step 2

Calculate cost of each model car

Cost of each model car = $14.7/2

= $7.35
