you bought a magazine for $3 and six notepads. You spent a total of $27. How much did each notepad cost?

Answer 1

If our total is $27 and we only bought 1 magazine, we can subtract the $3 magazine from the $27 total to find out how much we spent on notepads, which would be 27-3= $24. Since we bought 6 notepads for $24 dollars, we divide 24 by 6 to get that each notepad was $4.
