Colton buys cheese and apples at the store.
He pays a total of $32.87.
He pays a total of $4.39 for the cheese.
He buys 8 bags of apples that each cost the same amount.
Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine xx, how much each bag of apples costs.
Based on the given conditions:
$4.39 + 8 x = $32.87
4.39 + 8 x = 32.87
Subtract 4.39 to both sides
8 x = 28.48
x = 28.48 / 8 = 3.56
x = $3.56
