Ava had $28.50 to spend at the farmer's market. After buying 3 pumpkins Ava, has $12 left. Which equation could you use to find the price of one pumpkin?

Step-by-step explanation:

Ava had $28.50 to spend at the farmer's market. She bought three pumpkins from the $28.50 that she had to spend.

After buying the three pumpkins, she had $12 left. This means that the amount that she spent on the pumpkin would be the total amount she had to spend - the amount she had left. This becomes

28.50 - 12 = $16.5

This means that the cost pet pumpkin would be total amount that she spent on pumpkin / the number of pumpkin that she bought. It becomes

The equation that will be used to find the price of pumpkin, P would be

P = cost of n pumpkins / number of pumpkins

Where n is the number of pumpkins

In this case

Price of one pumpkin, p = cost of 3 pumpkins / 3 pumpkins

P = 16.5/3 = $5.5
