Question

Adam had $27 to spend on 3 beakers for his science class. After buying them, Adam had $6 left. How much did each of the beakers cost?

Answer 1

Answer: $7

Step-by-step explanation: So $27 -$6= $21.Then you Divide by 3 and you will get $7 for each beaker.

Answer 2

Answer:

$7

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the total cost of the 3 beakers, take away $6 from the total amount Adam has.

$27 - $6 = $21

$21 is the amount needed for 3 beakers, hence to find 1 beaker, you just have to divide $21 by 3.

$21 ÷ 3 = $7

Therefore, each beaker costs $7.
