Answer:

$30

Explanation:

First we will find how much money Davion paid with.

4 * $20 = $80

Now we can find how much the stuffed animal cost using the controller cost and change received.

Let x be the cost of the stuffed animal

80 = 32 + 18 + x

80 = 50 + x | subtract 50 from both sides

30 = x

This means the stuffed animal cost $30.

That is your answer
