Bill purchased 4 pens for $3.32 including $.16 sales tax. FIND THE C

COST OF ONE PEN.

I need to write this in an equation. Then solve that's what the worksheet says.

3.32 - 0.16 = 3.16

3.16 / 4 = ?

0.79 for one pen

no would it not be 0.83 for each pen

never mind your right

To write this problem as an equation, let's assume the cost of one pen is represented by "x."

Since Bill purchased 4 pens for $3.32 including a $.16 sales tax, the total cost of all 4 pens can be calculated as follows:
4x + 0.16 = 3.32

Now, we can solve this equation to find the cost of one pen.

First, let's isolate the term with "x" by subtracting 0.16 from both sides of the equation:
4x = 3.32 - 0.16
4x = 3.16

Next, to find the value of "x" (the cost of one pen), divide both sides of the equation by 4:
4x/4 = 3.16/4
x = 0.79

Therefore, the cost of one pen is $0.79.
