Question

inez bought a wrapping paper and four bows. if she wrapped 4 identical gifts with the paper and bows, how much did it cost to wrap each gift?

Answer 1

The figure is missing. So, it is attached below.

Answer:

Cost to wrap each gift is $1.99.

Explanation:

Let 'x' be the cost for wrapping each gift.

From the figure shown below,

The cost of a package of wrapping paper is $3.76 and each bow costs $1.05.

Inez bought 1 package of wrapping paper and 4 bows

The total amount of money she spent is given as:

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

As per question, Inez wrapped 4 identical gifts.

So, cost of 4 gifts =
`4x`

Now,
`4x=7.96`

Dividing both sides by 4.

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