Mikayla and Weatha went to the candy store and each spend the same amount of money to make party favor bags. Mikayla bought a package of bags for $6.25 and 75 small pieces of candy. Weatha bought a package of bags for $4.75 and 90 small pieces of candy. How much does a small piece of candy cost?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you know that Mikayla and Weatha spent the same amount of money and because of that you can write the following:

6.25+75x=4.75+90x, where x is the price of a small piece of candy

Now, you can solve for x:

6.25-4.75=90x-75x

1.5=15x

x=1.5/15

x=0.1

According to this, the answer is that a small piece of candy costs $0.1.
