Answer:
\$1.99

Explanation:

The missing figure is attached.

For this exercise you need to analize the information provided.

You can observe in the picture attached that the cost of a package of wrapping paper is $3.76 and each bow costs $1.05.

Since Inez bought 1 package of wrapping paper and 4 bows, you get that the total amount of money she spent was:


Total=\$3.76+4(\$1.05)\\\\Total=\$7.96

According to the data given in the exercise, Inez wrapped 4 identical gifts. So, let be "x" the cost for wrapping each gift.

This is:


x=(\$7.96)/(4)\\\\x=\$1.99

Inez bought a package of wrapping paper and 4 bows. If she wrapped 4 identical gifts-example-1
