A hlaf dozen hair clip cost 43.90. maria wants to buy 4 hair clips. how much will she pay for them?
If 6 hair clips cost $43.90
Then one hair clip will cost 43.90 divided by 6.
After you divide, then multiply by 4.

To determine how much Maria will pay for 4 hair clips, we first need to find the cost of a single hair clip.
Given that a half dozen (which is equal to 6) hair clips cost $43.90, we can set up a proportion to find the cost of one hair clip:
6 hair clips = $43.90
1 hair clip = ?
To find the cost of one hair clip, we divide $43.90 by 6:
43.90 / 6 ≈ $7.32 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Now that we know the cost of one hair clip is approximately $7.32, we can calculate how much Maria will pay for 4 hair clips:
4 hair clips * $7.32 per hair clip = $29.28
Therefore, Maria will pay approximately $29.28 for 4 hair clips.
