Molly has 6 grandchildren. She likes to be fair and buy gifts for all of them at the same time. She found jigsaw puzzles, each discounted by 50¢. Find the original cost of each puzzle if she spent a total of $27.(1 point) Each puzzle cost $.
Let's say the original cost of each puzzle is x dollars.
Since Molly bought 6 puzzles, the total cost before the discount is 6x dollars.
With a discount of 50¢ for each puzzle, the total discount for all 6 puzzles is 6 * 0.50 = $3.
After the discount, Molly spent a total of $27, so the total cost of the puzzles after the discount is $27 - $3 = $24.
Therefore, the original cost of each puzzle is 24/6 = $<<24/6=4>>4. Answer: \boxed{4}.
