Isabella wants to buy some markers of the same price. If she buys 4 markers, she will have $11.90 left. If she buys 6 markers, she will have no money left.
- How much does each marker cost?
- How much does Isabella have?
(a)
Cost of 2 markers = $11.90
Cost of each marker
= 11.90 ÷ 2
= $5.95
(b)
Since Isabella will have no money left if she buys 6 markers, the amount that she has is the cost of 6 markers.
Amount that Isabella has
= 6 x 5.95
= $35.70
Answer(s): (a) $5.95; (b) $35.70
