Alyssa and anna bought three toy cars for their three cousins from the store online. the price for one car was $3.83. a shipping fee of $4.55 was added to the total cost. the two girls share the total cost equally. how much did each girl pay?

Hey!

1 car is $3.83.

3 cars is $3.83 × 3

3.83 × 3 = 11.49

Shipping fee is $4.55. Add that to the price of the 3 cars

11.49 + 4.55 = 16.04

The girls share the cost equally. Divide by 2

16.04 ÷ 2 = 8.02

So, you need to find the total cost of the three toy cards plus the shipping fee.

1 car = $3.83

Shipping fee - $4.55

There are 3 cars

$3.83 (price per car) x 3 (cars) = $11.49 (total)

Now you need to add the shipping fee since the shipping fee was "added to the total cost".

$11.49 (total 3x toy cars) + $4.55 (shipping) = $16.04 (total + shipping)

The two girls shared the total cost equally (total cost = $16.04)

$16.04 (total cost) ÷ 2 (girls) = $8.02

Each girl paid $8.02
