Abigail wants to buy some files of the same price. If she buys 6 files, she will have $9.40 left. If she buys 8 files, she will have no money left.
- How much does each file cost?
- How much does Abigail have?
(a)
Cost of 2 files = $9.40
Cost of each file
= 9.40 ÷ 2
= $4.70
(b)
Since Abigail will have no money left if she buys 8 files, the amount that she has is the cost of 8 files.
Amount that Abigail has
= 8 x 4.70
= $37.60
Answer(s): (a) $4.70; (b) $37.60
