He pays a total of $39.62.
He pays $6.74 for the eggs.
He buys 8 bags of lemons that each cost the same amount.

Which equation could be used to determine xx, how much each bag of lemons costs?

Answer 1

Answer: 8x = $39.62 - $6.74

Explanation:

Cost of 1 bag of lemons = $x

Cost of 8 bags of lemons = 8*x = 8x

Cost of 8 bags of lemons = Total cost - cost of the egg

8x = $39.62 - $6.74
