Autumn buys eggs and apples at the store.

She pays a total of $34.14.

She pays a total of $5.76 for the eggs.

She buys 6 bags of apples that each cost the same amount.


Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, how much each bag of apples costs.

\(\boxed{x =\dfrac{ (34.14-5.76)}{6}}\)

 

Explanation: The total cost minus the eggs cost = the total apple cost. (28.38). Since the bags of apples are the same size and value, and you have 6 bags, you divide the total apple cost by 6 to get \(\boxed{4.73}\) dollars per bag of apples. \(\square\)
