1. 7. EE. B. 4

Bob buys eggs and potatoes at a store.

• He pays a total of $25.92.

• He pays $2.57 for the eggs.

• He buys 5 bags of potatoes that each cost the same amount,

Which equation can be used to determine the cost, x, of each bag of potatoes?

A

1

= (25.92 - 2.57) = 5

B

x = 25.92 = 5 + 2.57

X = (25.92 + 2.57) = 5

D

x = 25.92 - 5 - 2.57

I believe that A is the correct answer because this is how I would normally solve the equation. X representing the unknown cost of each bag of potatoes.

x = (25.92 - 2.57) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Bob bought eggs and potatoes at a store.

He pays a total of $25.92 for both the egg and potatoes

He pays $2.57 for the eggs.

He buys 5 bags of potatoes that each cost same amount. The equation that can be used to determine the cost of x, of each bag of potatoes can be calculated as follows:

Let

number bag of potatoes = x

The cost of the whole potatoes he bought = $ (25.92 - 2.57)

The cost of the whole potatoes he bought = $23.35

The cost of 1 bag of potatoes (x) = (25.92 - 2.57) / 5

x = (25.92 - 2.57) / 5

it is same as

x = (25.92 - 2.57) = 5
