A jewelry store is selling a set of 4 pairs of gemstone earrings for $58, including tax. Neva and three of her friends bought the set so each could have one pair of earrings. Write and solve a multiplication equation to fin how much each person should pay.
the correct answer is 14.50 because you would only have to divied $58 by 4 once.
The answer is 4x=58 because you want to find out how much each of them have to pay. And it asked for a multiplication experience. x=14.50
58 / 4 = ?
You are fantastic. So fast. Thanks. So 14.5 divided by 4 friends will be 3.625 so the answer will be 4 each one. Right?
Nope. Wrong.
How much will each person pay?

I believe the answer would be $14.50 because 58 divided by 4 = 14.5 but since we are talking money it would be $14.50.
i still dont know the answer
To find out how much each person should pay for the set of gemstone earrings, we need to divide the total price by the number of people sharing the cost.
In this case, there are four people in total: Neva and her three friends.
So, we can set up a multiplication equation to find the cost per person as follows:
4 * Cost per person = Total cost of the set
Let's solve for the cost per person.
The total cost of the set is given as $58, including tax. So, we can substitute it into the equation:
4 * Cost per person = $58
To find the cost per person, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 4:
(4 * Cost per person)/4 = $58/4
This simplifies to:
Cost per person = $14.50
Therefore, each person should pay $14.50 for their pair of gemstone earrings.
