K a y l a is purchasing five candles for x dollars each and five candles holders for $3.50 each k a y l a pay a total of 27.50 before text what is the cost per candle a $2 be $4.80 c $6.20 d $9
To solve this problem, let's first find the total cost of the candles and candle holders.
Let the cost of each candle be x dollars. So, the total cost of the candles will be 5x dollars.
The cost of each candle holder is $3.50 and Kayla purchased 5 candle holders, so the total cost of the candle holders will be 5 * $3.50 = $17.50.
Therefore, the total cost before tax will be 5x + $17.50 = $27.50
5x = $27.50 - $17.50
5x = $10
x = $2
So, the cost per candle is $2. Therefore, the correct answer is option A) $2.
