Question

You bought a magazine for $5 and four erasers. You spent a total of $25. How much did each eraser cost? Write the equation and solve. plz put the right answer

Answer 1

The buyer bought four erasers and a magazine for $25.

The cost of each magazine is $5

The cost of an eraser is x dollars

The cost of 4 erasers is 4x

Explanation:

Cost of the Erasers + Cost of the Magazine = Total Cost

4x + $5 = $25

Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

4x + 5 -5 = 25 -5

4x = 20

The last thing you do is you divide it by 4 on both sides to isolate the variable.

x = 20/4 = $5

Answer 2

`5\`

Explanation:

Let x be cost of 1 eraser.

`5 +4x=25`

`4x=20`

`x=5`
