Zack sold 3 of his old hockey sticks at Refreeze Secondhand Sports Shop. Before he left, he spent $25 of his earnings on a used pair of hockey gloves. He had $71 remaining. How much did Zack receive for each hockey stick?
Zack spent a total of $25 and had $71 remaining, so he earned 25 + 71 = $<<25+71=96>>96 from selling three hockey sticks.
Thus, Zack received an average of 96 / 3 = $<<96/3=32>>32 for each hockey stick. Answer: \boxed{32}.
To find out how much Zack received for each hockey stick, we need to subtract the amount he spent on the pair of hockey gloves from his remaining earnings and then divide the result by the number of hockey sticks.
1. Step 1: Subtract the amount spent on hockey gloves from the remaining earnings:
$71 - $25 = $46
2. Step 2: Divide the remaining earnings by the number of hockey sticks sold:
$46 ÷ 3 = $15.33
Therefore, Zack received approximately $15.33 for each hockey stick.
To find out how much Zack received for each hockey stick, we need to subtract the amount he spent on the hockey gloves from his total remaining.
Let's break it down step by step:
1. Zack had $71 remaining after buying the hockey gloves.
2. He spent $25 on the gloves.
3. To find out how much he received for the hockey sticks, we subtract the amount spent on the gloves from the remaining amount: $71 - $25 = $46.
Now that we know he received a total of $46 for the three hockey sticks, we can find out how much he received for each stick by dividing the total amount by the number of sticks:
$46 ÷ 3 = $15.33 (rounded to the nearest cent).
Therefore, Zack received approximately $15.33 for each hockey stick.
