Japheth paid $13 for some strudels. 18 of the strudels cost 50¢ each. The remaining strudels cost $1 each.
- How much did Japheth pay for the strudels which cost 50¢ each?
- What was the total cost of the remaining strudels?
- How many strudels did she buy in all?
(a)
100¢ = $1
50¢ = $0.50
Cost of 18 strudels

= $9
(b)
Total cost of the remaining strudels
