Evan wants to buy some markers of the same price. If she buys 4 markers, she will have $11.30 left. If she buys 6 markers, she will have no money left.
- How much does each marker cost?
- How much does Evan have?
(a)
Cost of 2 markers = $11.30
Cost of each marker
= 11.30 ÷ 2
= $5.65
(b)
Since Evan will have no money left if she buys 6 markers, the amount that she has is the cost of 6 markers.
Amount that Evan has
= 6 x 5.65
= $33.90
Answer(s): (a) $5.65; (b) $33.90
