Given:
Jake bought 3 drawing pens for $8.07.
Each pen costs the same amount.
To find:
How much did he spend for one pen?
Solution:
Let x be the cost of each pen. Then
Cost of three pens = 3x
Jake bought 3 drawing pens for $8.07.
[tex]3x=8.07[/tex]
Divide both sides by 3.
[tex]x=\dfrac{8.07}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x=2.69[/tex]
Therefore, he spend $2.69 for one pen.
