Tina spends $50.86 at the craft store. She buys 5 yards of fabric at $8.98 per yard and 2 spools of thread. What is the price of one spool of thread?

One spool of thread is $2.98

Step-by-step explanation:

$ 2.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount spent by Mila equals $50.86

She bought 5 yards of fabric at $8.98 per yard. Hence, the total amount she spent on fabric is 8.98 × 5 = $44.9

It should be noted that since she bought only 2 kinds of things, this mean that Amount spent of fabric + Amount spent on thread = $50.86

Amount spent on thread = $50.86 - Amount spent on fabrics.

Amount spent on thread = $50.86 - $44.9 = $5.96

This is the total amount spent on thread.

But the question asks amount spent on one spool of thread. Since 2 spools would cost $5.96, one spool would cost $5.96 ÷ 2 = $2.98

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
