Question 993848

Subtract the total of $73.00 from the cost of the flower pot, $7.00


So, 73.00 - 7.00 = $66.00


Then divide 44 paving stones by $66.00,


66/44 = 1.50


Therefore the cost of 44 paving stones were $1.50 each.


You can check this,


$1.50 * 44 paving stones = $66.00 + $7.00 = $73.00



If you need to do this as a two-step equation:


44x + 7 = 73


44x = 73 - 7


44x = 66


44x/44 = 66/44


x = 3/2 --> x = 1.50
