Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Ava had $28.50 to spend at the farmer's market. She bought three pumpkins from the $28.50 that she had to spend.
After buying the three pumpkins, she had $12 left. This means that the amount that she spent on the pumpkin would be the total amount she had to spend - the amount she had left. This becomes
28.50 -12 = $16.5
This means that the cost pet pumpkin would be total amount that she spent on pumpkin / the number of pumpkin that she bought. It becomes
The equation that will be used to find the price of pumpkin,P would be
P = cost of n pumpkins /number of pumpkins
Where n is the number of pumpkins
In this case
Price of one pumpkin, p = cost of 3 pumpkins / 3 pumpkins
P = 16.5/3 = $5.5
