Answer 2

6.49

Explanation:

6 pairs of insulated gloves cost $38.94

That means 6 x (price of one glove) = 38.94

Let's say the price of on glove = x

The equation is :

6x = 38.94

x = 38.94 ÷ 6 (divide all sides by 6)

x = 6 + (2.94 ÷ 6) (Splitting numbers to multiples of 6)

x = 6 + 0.4 + ( 0.54 ÷ 6) (Splitting numbers to multiples of 6)

x = 6 + 0.4 + 0.09 (Adding all sums)

x = 6.49

Each pair of gloves cost 6.49
