Since Donna bought 3 bags for $6.03, we can build an equations:
3x=6.03
3x being all 3 bags times the amount of money for each, and 6.03 being the total amount for each bag.
To undo multiplication, we need to divide. In this case; we need to divide each side by three.
That leaves us with;
x=$2.01
So, wa he bag costs $2.01

You start by dividing 6.03 by 3. That’s it. So per bag of dog treats, the cost is $2.01 each.
