Question

A

Andrea has a $25 gift card
to a art store. She buys four
canvases that are each the same
price. If she now has $2.20 on
her gift card,
what was the price of
each canvas?
Equation:
Solution:​

Answer 1

Answer: 5.70

Explanation:

Gift card = 25

Canvases = x

Since Andrea is buying four canvases, we can say that it is 4x.

Remaining balance = 2.20

Let's set up our equation. To set it up, we can write it like this

4x+2.20= 25

Now, subtract 2.20 on each side

4x = 22.8

Now divide, and you get around 5.70

So, each canvas was $5.70

Answer 2

$5.70

Explanation:

First we have to find out how much she spent. SO we do 25-2.20 which is 22.80. Then we have to divide by 4 since she buys four canvases that are the same price. SO 22.80/4=$5.70
