I'd use the guess and check method. Do you know that one?
If you do, the big problem is finding a good first guess. Hint. How many items were bought? What was spent in total? So what was the average cost of the items?
Slow down.She bought a total of 5 items and the total was 54 dollars That is what were trying to figure out. we tried that and are not getting any where
Slow down.
She bought 5 items. She spent $54.00. So on average what did she spend on each? I know that is not the exact price that she paid for anything, but it will get us close.
You did not tell me whether you have been taught guess and check.
When she does what?yes but when she does it it doesn't come out to 54 dollars.
