Chole    had  initially  $200. She bought 8 plates, some bowls and cups.
She paid $128 for the bowls and cups and had $8 left.
How much did she pay for each plate?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For all 8 plates, Chole paid  200 - 128 - 8 = 64 dollars.

Hence for each of 8 plates she paid 1/8 of 64 dollars, or 8 dollars.


ANSWER.  The price of plates is 8 dollars for each.

Solved.
