The total cost for the starfish was $7.20. Write and solve an equation to find how much one starfish cost. (The number of starfish is 9)

Respuesta :

It is $.80 per starfish
So what we do here is since $7.20 is for 9 starfish, then the equation is 
c = 7.20 ÷ 9
To solve this 1-step equation we divide 7.20 by 9 and get 0.8.
This means each starfish costs $0.80
Hope this helps!
