Question

playtime toy shop is having its annual holiday sale, when every toy in the store gets marked down. during the sale, max purchases 6 wild wheels diecast cars to add to his collection, each at $2 less than its full price. max pays a total of $57. how much does each wild wheels diecast car cost at full price?

Explanation:

Step1: Define full price as \( x \)

Sale price per car: \( x - 2 \)

Step2: Total cost equation

\( 6(x - 2) = 57 \)

Step3: Solve for \( x - 2 \)

\( x - 2 = \frac{57}{6} = 9.5 \)

Step4: Find full price \( x \)

\( x = 9.5 + 2 = 11.5 \)

Answer:

11.5
