Answer:
2 toy pigs cost $14
Step-by-step explanation:
If 12 toy camels cost $96, I can solve ($96 / 12 = $8) to find the price of 1 toy camel. Now, I know that 1 toy camel costs $8.
If 8 toy camels and 3 toy pigs cost $85, I can multiply the price of 1 toy camel by 8 and solve ($8 x 8 = $64).
Next, I can subtract Gary's total cost by the toy camels to find how much was spent on 3 toy pigs. ($85 - $64 = $21) Therefore, 3 toy pigs cost $21.
Then, I can solve ($21 / 3 = $7) to find the price of 1 toy pig. Finally, I can multiply ($7 x 2 = $14) to find that 2 toy pigs cost $14.
Answer:
Two toy pigs cost $14.
Step-by-step explanation:
Gary bought 8 toy camels and 3 toy pigs for $85.
Sherry bought 12 toy camels for $96.
Thus, each toy camel cost $96/12=$8
Now we know Gary spent 8*$8= $64 in toy camels.
The rest of the $85, $85 - $64 = $21 was spent on the 3 toy pigs, thus each toy pig cost $21/3=$7
If one toy pig costs $7, two toy pigs cost $14.
