Question

Six students shared equally the cos of 18 items in the chart. Each student paid $24. What item did they buy?

red book $24

blue book 6 per pack

orange book 8 each

Answer 1

They bought the orange book

Explanation:

The easiest way to figure this problem out would be to break it down so it seems more simple.

6 students, 18 items, each paid $24.

8*18 = 144

144/6 = $24

You would just multiply the cost of the red book, blue book, and orange book by the 18 items. Then divide your answer by the number of students.
