Aaron wants to buy some files of the same price. If she buys 4 files, she will have $10.90 left. If she buys 6 files, she will have no money left.
- How much does each file cost?
- How much does Aaron have?
(a)
Cost of 2 files = $10.90
Cost of each file
= 10.90 ÷ 2
= $5.45
(b)
Since Aaron will have no money left if she buys 6 files, the amount that she has is the cost of 6 files.
Amount that Aaron has
= 6 x 5.45
= $32.70
Answer(s): (a) $5.45; (b) $32.70
