<PRE><B>Question 532287</B>
Mr. Wilhems got $2 discount on the purchase of 5 bags of peat moss. 
If he paid $7.40, what was the price for one bag of peat moss 
before discount??
----------------------------
He paid 7.40/5 = 1.48 for each bag after discount
He had been discounted 2.00/5 = $0.40 for each bag.
----
Original price for one bag was 1.48 + 0.40 = $1.88
