Question

You had 23 dollars to spend on 4 avocados. They were very green. After buying them you had 11 dollars. How much did each avocado cost?

Answer 1

3 dollars for each avocado.

Explanation:

Since you had 23 dollars in the beginning and 11 dollars in the end, subtract to find out how much was used for the avacados.

23-11=12

Next, since you bought 4 avocados, you divide 12 by 4 to find out how much each cost.

12/4=3

Each avocado cost 3 dollars.

You can check by multiplying 3 by 4.

3x4=12

Then, add the 12 dollars spent to the 11 dollars left.

12+11=23 dollars

Answer 2

$3

Explanation:

Because you subtract $23-$11 to get the total you spent on avocados then you divide 12/4 because you bought 4 avocados
