She has $60. After buying 5 hair clips , she had $30 left. How much did each hair clip including tax?

Question

Can you write out the equation for this problem 

Answer 1

HC = (60-30) / 5

 

in other words, she started with 60, and ended with 30, so she spent 60-30 = 30 dollars.

 

With these 30 dollars she bought 5 hair clips so each one cost 30/5 = 6 dollars
