(Write an equation to go with the problem) Miranda goes to the store to buy 3 apples and some rice. The total was 6.50. If the rice cost $5.00, what was the cost per Apple?

  3x + 5 = 6.50  is the equation where x represents the cost per apple and the cost per apple is 50 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation we will represent the cost per apple by the variable x.

If she bought 3 apples, then 3 has to be multiply by x to find the cost so we will have the expression 3x

The rice cost $5  and she spend a total of 6.50  so  3x has to be add to 5 and it has to equal 6.50.

3x + 5 = 6.50  You can now solve for x in the equation to find the cost per apple

3x + 5 = 6.50

     -5       -5

 3x = 1.5

x= 0.5  

This means  the cost of an apple is 50 cents.

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
