Question

1. tomas buys a bag of 5 peaches for $3.55. write and solve an equation to find how much money, m, tomas paid for each peach.
2. krys has $1.54 and spends $0.76. write and solve an equation to find how much money, m, krys has left.

Explanation:

For Question 9:

Step1: Define equation for total cost

$5m = 3.55$

Step2: Isolate m by dividing by 5

$m = \frac{3.55}{5}$

Step3: Calculate the value of m

$m = 0.71$

Step1: Define equation for remaining money

$m + 0.76 = 1.54$

Step2: Isolate m by subtracting 0.76

$m = 1.54 - 0.76$

Step3: Calculate the value of m

$m = 0.78$

Answer:

Each peach cost $\$0.71$
