Respuesta :
3.22 divided by 14 is .23. .23 plus .15 is .38 cents per candy at regular price.
For this case, the first thing we should do is define a variable.
We have then:
- x: regular price of each piece.
The equation modeling the problem is given by:
[tex]14 (x-0.15) = 3.22[/tex]
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
[tex]x-0.15 = \frac {3.22} {14}\\x-0.15 = 0.23\\x = 0.23 0.15\\x = 0.38\$[/tex]
Answer:
The regular price of each piece of candy is:
[tex]x = 0.38\$[/tex]
