The equation is 24.36 = 5.31 + 5 * x  and the cost of each bag of lemon is $3.81

How to write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x?

The given parameters are:

  • He pays a total of $24.36.
  • He pays a total of $5.31 for the cheese.
  • He buys 5 bags of lemons that each cost the same amount.

The above means that

Total = Cheese + Bags of lemon * 5

This gives

24.36 = 5.31 + 5 * x

Collect the like terms

So, we have

24.36  - 5.31 = 5 * x

Evaluate the like terms

So, we have

19.05 = 5 * x

Divide through by 5

So, we have

x = 3.81

Hence, the equation is 24.36 = 5.31 + 5 * x  and the cost of each bag of lemon is $3.81
