Rich bought 5 cupcakes and one pie. He knows his total bill and knows the pie was $6.89, but he wants to find the price of the cupcakes. How can he determine the price of each cupcake?

Respuesta :

Let total bill be T, price of each cupcake be p.

----> 5p +6.89 = T
solve for p

---> 5p = T - 6.89

[tex]==\ \textgreater \ p = \frac{T-6.89}{5} [/tex]
Now all that is left is to substitute in the total bill.
