He pays a total of $41.63.
He pays a total of $4.19 for the milk.
• He buys 6 bags of oranges that each cost the same amount.
.
Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, how much each bag
of oranges costs.

Answer 1

He pays a TOTAL of $41.63. Meaning everything is equal to that value

He pays 4.19$ for Milk

He buys 6bags of Oranges and each of these cist the same amount.. let's say x.

So 6 bags would cost 6x

So Total is

6x + 4.19 =41.63

6x= 41.63-4.19

6x=37.44

x=37.44/6

x=$6.24

To check this

6x + 4.19 should equal 41.63$

6(6.24) + 4.19= $41.63

Answer 2

$6.24

Explanation:

equation: $41.63 - 4.19 = 37.44

solve: 37.44 ÷ 6 = 6.24.

hope this helped!
